PEREIRA DUARTE, Matías et al. Artrodesis intersomática lateral de columna lumbar: Técnica quirúrgica y conceptos actuales. Rev. Asoc. Argent. Ortop. Traumatol. [online]. 2018, vol.83, n.4, pp.303-316. ISSN 1852-7434.

Minimally invasive lateral approach for lumbar interbody fusion is a relatively new technique and has shown promising results in patients with different spine disorders. It is a safe technique, provides adequate structural support between vertebral plates, and it can correct coronal and sagittal plane deformity and apply an indirect nerve decompression avoiding posterior elements. In recent years, experience with this approach has increased; new indications and medium- and long-term results were reported. The purpose of this work is to explain step-by-step surgical procedure and its variants as they are performed in our centers, and to point out current concepts based on a bibliographic review.
