56.5 Patient Positioning
The patient is positioned on a radiolucent bendable surgical table in a direct lateral right-sided decubitus position (90°), perpendicular to the table, with the trochanter directly posi­tioned over the table break and with legs and knees slightly bent. This conguration increases the space between iliac crest and ribs, especially relevant when accessing thoraco­lumbar junction or L4-L5 level. The ideal positioning is con­rmed by uoroscopy, ensuring that when at 0°, the C-arm provides a true anteroposterior (AP) image, and when at 90°, a true lateral image. It is substantial that the lateral uoro­scopic images show both vertebral plateaus and superior pedicles aligned, presented as a single line, and that the AP image reveals the spinous processes in a middle position, and pedicles as circumferences.

56.6 Planning oftheSkin Incision
A uoroscopic height localization with topographic projec­tion of the corresponding intervertebral disk on the skin is carried out in the strict lateral position with the aid of, for example, a K-wire. The intervertebral disk and the adjacent vertebral bodies are marked onto the skin and the incision is planned according to the number of levels to be treated. We prefer the one-incision-technique.
56.8 Technique
56.8.1 Lateral Retroperitoneal Access
After skin asepsis, a longitudinal skin incision, approximately 3–5cm, is made over the marked disk space. Following dis­section of the subcutaneous fat layer, the fascia of the oblique externus muscle is opened. The oblique externus, the oblique internus, and the transverse abdominis muscle are now bluntly dissected with the ngertip to develop the fascia under the transverse abdominis muscle. Once this fascia is opened, the retroperitoneal space can be entered with the nger and blunt dissection, with dorsal to anterior movement of the ngertip, is performed until the psoas muscle is reached. The index n­ger will now safely guide all dilators up to the psoas muscle, protecting abdominal structures (Fig.56.1).
56.8.2 Psoas Traverse
The rst dilator is placed upon the junction of the posterior third and the anterior two-thirds of the disk, as conrmed by AP and lateral uoroscopy. Then, the bers are gently sepa­rated by the initial blunt dilator with concomitant EMG monitoring for assessing the closeness to the lumbar plexus and allowing determining the proximity of neural structures
56.7 Approach
Several studies have investigated the location of the neural structures in the psoas muscle. For this purpose, Guérin etal. divided the disk space into 4 zones (1 anterior to 4 posterior). Based on their cadaveric studies, they recom­mend positioning of the retractor at the level of L1/2in zones 2 and 3, L2-L4 zone 3, and L4/5in zone 2 [16]. A comparable classication was published by Uribe et al. [17]. However, Banagan and colleagues concluded that based on their study, there is no absolute safe zone and they would recommend either direct visualization of the nerve and/or the use of neuromonitoring [12]. In the seg­ment L4/5, there is the greatest risk of a neurological dam­age [18].

Fig. 56.2 Initial Dilatator is placed on the disk using EMG monitor-
ing. Fluoroscopy is used to conrm the adequate location
that are adjacent to the surgical eld by using a probe (Fig.56.2). The dilator must be rotated in position to deter­mine proximity and spatial distribution of nerves. The dila­tors in sequence are placed over the previous, always checking the EMG, until placement of the last retractor. After conrming the ideal position by uoroscopy, the blades of the retractor are inserted. Depending on the retrac­tor system used, the blades may be further stabilized after opening by the insertion of pins and visualization of the area of interest is improved by a light source clipped on the retractor blade. Retractor opening must be minimized in order to prevent lack of blood ow to the nerves of the plexus and prevent plexopathies due to compression. Now bipolar can be used to achieve disk visualization. The disk is now incised with a knife, and an annulotomy is performed (Fig. 56.3). Using the disk preparation instruments, both endplates are prepared and the annulus on the opposite side is also released. This is critical to achieve the best possible distraction of the disk space, proper coronary alignment, placement of a large implant, and herewith also the best pos-

sible indirect decompression. After adequate preparation of the disk space, the cage can be inserted (Fig. 56.4). Some hyperlordotic cages are available on the market, which can achieve additional optimization of the sagittal alignment. Particular care should be taken to ensure that the cage is inserted well anteriorly. The position of the cage is now checked uoroscopically in true lateral and AP images. If the position of the cage is satisfactory, there is now the option of additional stabilization by inserting a lateral plate or the percu­taneous insertion of a transpedicular screw-rod system in the lateral or a prone position. Prone positioning certainly has the disadvantage that time is lost due to repositioning and renewed skin asepsis. If a lateral plate is used, this certainly has the advantage that no additional skin incision has to be made and no repositioning has to be performed. The plate size is selected depending on the disk space height and centered over the disk space with an insertion instrument. Depending on the plate, it is then xed with screws, if necessary, after preparing the screw holes with an awl or a tap. Plate and screw placement is carried out under uoroscopic control.

Biomechanically, however, the lateral plate systems are inferior to the pedicle screw systems, although overall good fusion rates are described [13, 14]. Furthermore, voluminous plate systems may irritate the psoas muscle and may cause chronic pain.
Hereafter occurs the lavage of the situs, removal of the retractor system, and wound closure in layers (Fig. 56.5). After mobilization of the patient, a standing X-ray should be taken as a control before discharge (Fig.56.6).
56.8.3 Complications
XLIF includes a disproportionate increase in the neurologi­cal complications of spinal surgery versus other constructs, that is, plexus injuries 13.28%, sensory decits 0–75% (per­manent in 62.5%), motor decits 0.7–33.6%, anterior thigh pain 12.5–25%, and sympathectomy 4–8%.
Additional nonneurological complications include cage subsidence (10–13.8%), major vascular injuries up to 0.4%, bowel perforation, malpositioning of the cage, nonunion (7.5%), and failure to decompress stenosis [1922].

57.1 Introduction and Core Messages
Posterior lumbar spine surgery uses various access routes (midline, lateral, far-lateral paracoccygeal) and can employ classic open, miniopen (microscopic or video assisted), or percutaneous access techniques. Decompression operations can be performed by using these access methods, and there are various possibili­ties of instrumentation as can various forms of instru­mentation. The implants are divided into the following groups: rigid systems (internal xator systems such as rod-screw or screw-plate systems, screws, pedicle screw-hook systems, cages, and spacers for interbody fusion); different dynamic or semirigid systems; and so-called nonfusion systems (pedicle-based systems, interspinous spacers, facet replacements). The follow­ing are types of posterior stabilization systems avail­able: tulip screw–type systems, side-loading systems, and plate systems. For the interbody fusion, there are cages in titanium as well as in PEEK on the market. Also, there are implants for the motion preservation available. The spectrum of those implants rises from dynamic pedicle screw systems, interspinous spacers, and facet replacement implants.

57.2 Approaches (see Fig.57.1)
Midline posterior approach
A midline approach to the lumbar region is most fre­quently used for posterior lumbar spine surgery. The exposure of the deeper layer of muscles, however, is imprecise and can entail substantial tissue damage and blood loss. Besides providing access to the cauda equina and the intervertebral disks, the midline approach can expose the posterior elements of the spine: the spinous processes, laminae, facet joints, and pedicles. The midline approach can be extended proximally and distally. The skin incision is made straight along the midline, even in scoliosis cases. For fusion cases, the incision should be one to two segments longer than the section to be fused. The preparation has to be performed strictly subperioste­ally to preserve the blood vessels and nerves, which sup­ply the muscles, and to prevent bleeding. In this approach technique, the lumbar spine is prepared from cranial to caudal.
Mediolateral posterior approaches The paramedian approach, as well as the intermuscular
Wiltse approach, allows a good exposure of the nerve roots at the lumbar levels [1]. The Wiltse technique is a paramedian approach to the lumbosacral junction. Unlike a midline incision, where the exposure is created by cut­ting through the muscle planes, a Wiltse approach utilizes a blunt dissection of the muscles, this means between the fascial planes of the multidus and longissimus muscles to create the exposure. In the 1960s, Wiltse etal. described the sacrospinalis-splitting approach to the lumbar spine [2]. This procedure was accomplished by making a para­spinous incision through the deep fascia and developing

the plane between the multidus and longissimus mus­cles. A paramedian skin incision is made to perform the transmuscular approach.
The intramuscular Wiltse approach allows the surgeon to approach the spine in a less invasive way in comparison to a midline incision. It is known as a miniopen approach, invasive because it preserves the posterior musculature of the spine and it is performed unilaterally. In 1953, Watkins described a far-lateral approach, a route between the erec­tor spinae (iliocostalis) and the quadratus lumborum, which requires some resection of the ilium for proper muscle reection. Another option is the lateral intramus­cular planar approach to the lumbar spine described by Newman [3].
Transforaminal approach The transforaminal approach to the L5–S1 interspace
provides a minimally invasive corridor through which dis­cectomy and interbody fusion can safely be performed. It may provide an alternative route of access to the L5–S1 interspace in those patients who have unfavorable anat­omy for, or contraindication to, the traditional open ante­rior approach to this level [4].
57.3 Access Techniques (see Fig.57.2)
The access techniques used can be subdivided into classic open, miniopen, and percutaneous techniques. The access routes can be made considerably smaller if special retrac­tors are used [5]. These include MLD-retractor, Caspar retractor (Aesculap); METRx or Quadrant (Medtronic); and ProView Minimal Access Portal System (Blackstone Medical) MaXcess (Nuvasive). These techniques are sub­sumed under the heading of miniopen access. To optimize visualization, especially in minimally invasive and less invasive spine surgery, either an operating microscope or an optic is used. The techniques are referred to with reference to the visualization method employed (microscopic or

57.4.1 Rigid Systems
• Screws and pins For the posterior approach, there are several translami-
nar screws or translaminar pins (ECF Peek from Signas) available. This translaminar pin is a further development of the translaminar facet screw xation (TLPF). The implantation is performed by using a percutaneous para­coccygeal approach. A reduction and stabilization of minor spondylolisthesis can be achieved by direct screw­ing as described by Buck [7].
With a special-designed interbody fusion device
(AxiaLIF), a transsacral approach can be achieved, for example, with the transsacral screw of TranS1.
Examples: Multiple fragment screw–translaminar
screw, transsacral screw (TranS1 Inc.) and ECF PEEK translaminar pin (Signus). Using a percutaneous paracoc­cygeal approach, axial uoroscopically guided interbody fusion (AxiaLIF) is possible with a special transsacral screw (TranS1 Inc.) [4]. Translaminar pin xation (TLPF) is a further development of translaminar facet screw xa­tion (TFSR). Compression and stabilization of minor spondylolisthesis can be achieved by direct screwing, as described by Buck [7].
• Hook-screw systems Example: Hook-screw construct described by
Morscher [8].
This surgical procedure is to reconstruct and stabilize
the fractured pars interarticularis in minimal spondylolytic spondylolisthesis. It allows compression of the defect with­out crossing the defect with the screw. Direct repair is indi-

cated only in the absence of disk degeneration. After the age of 25years, this procedure should not be carried out.
• Internal xator (screw-rod or screw-plate systems) Dorsal stabilization procedures employ transpedicu-
larly positioned implants with stable angle xation. From the internal xator as described by Dick, further develop­ment led to the xator described by Kluger and the Universal Spine System USS (Synthes) and MOSS System (DePuy). The rigid internal xator systems can be grouped into different types according to their design details, for example, top-loading and side- loading sys­tems, polyaxial screw, monoaxial screw, reduction screws, augmentation screws, and cannulated screws [9, 34].
