Issue Date: | 2021 | Publisher: | UHasselt | Abstract: | This study aimed to systematically review the literature about the difference between posterior and lateral lumbar fusion techniques in terms of clinical and surgical parameters. Secondly, a meta-analysis was conducted to compare minimally invasive and open lumbar fusion for the same parameters. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that lateral fusion is superior to posterior fusion or vice versa because of the few studies with a high level of evidence included in this review. When MIS is compared with OPEN-TLIF, VAS back pain improved significantly at two years postoperative. There was also found a significant difference for intraoperative blood loss and length of hospital stay in favor of the MIS group. | Notes: | master in de revalidatiewetenschappen en de kinesitherapie-revalidatiewetenschappen en kinesitherapie bij neurologische aandoeningen master in de revalidatiewetenschappen en de kinesitherapie-revalidatiewetenschappen en kinesitherapie bij musculoskeletale aandoeningen |
