Abstract

The present study aimed to compare the differences between minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar fusion (MIS‑TLIF) and open transforaminal lumbar fusion (TLIF) for multi‑segmental lumbar degenerative disease regarding intraoperative indices and postoperative outcomes. PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP databases were searched for literature on MIS‑TLIF and open TLIF in treating multi‑segmental lumbar degenerative diseases. Of the 1,608 articles retrieved, 10 were included for final analysis. The Newcastle‑Ottawa Scale and Review Manager 5.4 were used for quality evaluation and data analysis, respectively. The MIS‑TLIF group was superior to the open TLIF group regarding intraoperative blood loss [95% confidence interval (CI): ‑254.33,‑157.86; P<0.00001], postoperative in‑bed time (95%CI: ‑3.49,‑2.76; P<0.00001), hospitalization time (95%CI: ‑5.14,‑1.78; P<0.0001) and postoperative leg pain Visual Analog Scale score (95%CI: ‑0.27,‑0.13; P<0.00001). The fluoroscopy frequency for MIS‑TLIF (95%CI: 2.07,6.12; P<0.0001) was significantly higher than that for open TLIF. The two groups had no significant differences in operation time, postoperative drainage volume, postoperative complications, fusion rate, or Oswestry Disability Index score. In treating multi‑segmental lumbar degenerative diseases, MIS‑TLIF has the advantages of less blood loss, shorter bedtime and hospitalization time and improved early postoperative efficacy; however, open TLIF has a lower fluoroscopy frequency.
