Popis: Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) was first described in 2001 and has become increasingly popular as a minimally invasive approach for interbody fusion. An understanding of the iliopsoas muscle and lumbosacral plexus is imperative as this approach involves splitting the psoas muscle while using neuromonitoring to navigate around the plexus. The most common indication includes degenerative disease of the lumbar spine with fusion and biomechanical outcomes similar to the anterior approach.
