Minimally invasive lateral tubular approach for revision of failed lumbar interbody fusion: illustrative cases
A lateral lumbar interbody approach-with its direct access to disc space, possibility for a relatively large-footprint cage while avoiding scar tissue from a prior approach, and favorable safety profile-is a promising option for the revision of failed interbody cages. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25750.
