CLINICAL AND IMAGING OUTCOMES OF XLIF SURGERY FOR LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS.

To evaluate the treatment outcomes of lateral interbody bone graft surgery and posterior percutaneous screws for lumbar spinal stenosis Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study. There were 27 patients with 30 segments of surgery diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis that were surgically treated with the XLIF method. Clinical outcomes measured included VAS scores for lower back pain and leg pain, ODI, and JOA scores. Magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine after surgery was used to evaluate indirect decompression. X-ray or CT scan to evaluate bone fusion after 6 months of surgery. Differences were determined by independent T-test.
