Abstract: Surgical management of degenerative lumbar disorders continues to evolve. Recent publications have demonstrated an advantage for fusion procedures in certain pathologies, such as degenerative spondylolisthesis. The optimal surgical approach still needs to be defined. We sought to compare two approaches, minimally invasive TLIF and open PLIF, for the management of symptomatic spondylolisthesis.
