[Clinical application of minimally invasive lumbar interbody fusion].

With the popularization of minimally invasive concept in the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease,minimally invasive lumbar interbody fusion has gradually developed into the mainstream technique of lumbar fixation and fusion.At present,there are many types of minimally invasive lumbar interbody fusion. In this paper, four kinds of minimally invasive lumbar interbody fusion (anterior lumbar interbody fusion,minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion,extreme lateral interbody fusion,oblique lumbar interbody fusion),which are widely used in clinical practice,are systematically described from the aspects of indication selection,technical characteristics, clinical efficacy and prevention of complications.In order to obtain the best treatment effect with the least trauma,it is necessary for the surgeons to formulate detailed surgical strategies on the basis of strictly grasping the indications,and choose the operation according to their own clinical experience and skills,so as to maximize the advantages of different minimally invasive lumbar interbody fusion.
