Single-Position Prone Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion: Indications, Techniques, and Outcomes

Description

This VTT document outlines a video presentation on the growing trend of Single Position Prone Lateral Surgery performed by spine surgeons. The technique is praised for its efficiency and efficacy in treating degenerative pathologies of the lumbar spine without the need for intraoperative repositioning. It discusses the various advantages associated with this surgical approach, including minimally invasive access, preservation of anatomical structures, and enhanced recovery outcomes compared to open procedures.



The document presents a detailed outline of the surgical technique, including preoperative planning, patient positioning, and specific surgical steps like percutaneous pedicle screw instrumentation and lateral access to the lumbar spine. Potential complications are also addressed, emphasizing the importance of surgical precision and patient safety.



Furthermore, the video illustrates a specific case study of a 75-year-old female patient who underwent the described procedure, including preoperative imaging results and postoperative care practices. The document concludes by highlighting the benefits of integrating advanced surgical technologies such as robotics to improve clinical outcomes in spine surgery.
