Variations along the pathways used for lateral transpsoas approaches to the lumbar spine
should be appreciated by the spine surgeon. This chapter presents some of the common …

BACKGROUND CONTEXT Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) was initially developed to
be performed in the lateral decubitus position, facilitating indirect neural decompression and …

OBJECTIVE The aim of this paper was to evaluate the changes in radiographic spinopelvic
parameters in a large cohort of patients undergoing the prone transpsoas approach to the …

Introduction The lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) is a safe and effective technique to
