Long-term comparative study of Open-TLIF, MIS-TLIF, and UBE-TLIF in single-level degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis

While short-term outcomes are similar across techniques, mid- to long-term results favor both Open- and UBE-TLIF. Given its minimally invasive advantages and faster recovery, UBE-TLIF is a preferable alternative for grade I-II DLS.

Abstract

While short-term outcomes are similar across techniques, mid- to long-term results favor both Open- and UBE-TLIF. Given its minimally invasive advantages and faster recovery, UBE-TLIF is a preferable alternative for grade I-II DLS.
