Popis: Objective The purpose of the present paper was to evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of mini‐open retroperitoneal oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) for the treatment of lumbar spinal tuberculosis. Methods A total of 115 patients who suffered from lumbar spinal tuberculosis from June 2014 to December 2017 were included in this research. A total of 59 patients underwent OLIF and percutaneous pedicle screw fixation (OLIF group) and 56 patients underwent the anterior‐only approach (anterior‐only group). All patients were followed up for at least 24 months. Operation time, blood loss, and rate of complications were used to assess the safety of these two techniques. The visual analog scale (VAS) and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) were used to evaluate the relief of neurological and functional symptoms. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C‐reactive protein (CRP) were measured to investigate the activity and recurrence of spinal tuberculosis. The Cobb angle, the sagittal vertical axis of the spine (SVA), the pelvic tilt (PT), the sacral slope (SS), the pelvic incidence (PI), and postoperative Frankel classification were also used to assess the efficiency of the spine deformity correction and the recovery of long‐term neurological function. Results Most patients were successfully treated with OLIF and the anterior‐only technique and attained satisfactory clinical efficiency during the 24‐month follow‐up period. In the perioperative period, the mean operative time (154.68 ± 23.64 min, P
