Abstract
Minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MITLIF) can be used as an alternative to traditional open TLIF because it carries the same indications and contraindications for the experienced surgeon. Thorough understanding of the three-dimensional anatomy of the lumbar spine is necessary to avoid complications. Although more technically demanding, it allows the surgeon to achieve the same quality of diskectomy, restoration of interbody height and fusion rates while providing functional and economic benefits to the patient and hospital system.
