Compare the incidence of sympathetic chain injury between front and back of sympathetic approach in oblique lumbar interbody fusion

Being tested
Lateral lumbar interbody fusion

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Lateral lumbar interbody fusionProcedure or surgery

    Also called front versus back sympathetic chain approach

    oblique lumbar interbody fusion or direct lateral interbody fusion

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The rate of sympathetic plexus injury

    The number of patiensts with sympathetic symptom such as edema of the lower extremity, change of skin temperature, pain, or paresthesia without other medical conditions

    Measured: Postoperative day one

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Other complications

    the number of patients with any other complication such as Injury of vascular structure, ureter, peritoneum, or bowel.

    Measured: Postoperative 6 month
