Life Spine Announces Published Article on Discectomy Performance During Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion Approach Using Endoscopic Technique vs MIS Tubular Approach

HUNTLEY, Ailing., September 17, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Life Backbone, Inc., a medical system firm that designs, develops, manufactures and markets merchandise for the surgical therapy of spinal issues, introduced in the present day that Backbone, a world, peer-reviewed journal has revealed a brand new examine analyzing Discectomy efficiency throughout TLIF approaches utilizing an Endoscopic approach versus a MIS Tubular strategy¹.

The examine, using Life Backbone merchandise, evaluated outcomes throughout 29 spinal ranges, consisting of 14 E-TLIF and 15 T-TLIF procedures. After discectomy, every disc was transected, and digital imaging software program was employed to research and quantify the share of discectomy accomplished. Moreover, the period required for every discectomy was in contrast between the 2 methods. Pedicle screws had been inserted contralaterally to the TLIF, and the change in interpedicular distance post-expandable cage implantation was assessed as an indicator of oblique decompression, with outcomes in contrast throughout the methods.

Outcomes of the examine confirmed that discectomy efficiency between an endoscopic TLIF was equal to a conventional MIS tubular TLIF strategy for a discectomy. The proportion of discectomy confirmed no distinction between tubular TLIF and an endoscopic TLIF (48.86%+/-6.98% T-TLIF vs. 50.26%+/-7.38% E-TLIF, P=0.61). There was no statistical distinction between interpedicular distance created (2.20 mm+/-1.97 mm T-TLIF vs 1.36 mm+/-1.82 mm E-TLIF, P=0.24). This indicated that an satisfactory oblique decompression might be achieved through an endoscopic strategy. An endoscopic TLIF took much less time than MIS-TLIF (20.00 min+/-7.12 min vs 15.22 min+/-4.42 min, P=0.048) primarily based on our cadaveric experiment.

“Our examine demonstrates the utility of Life Backbone’s endoscopic TLIF platform to carry out an acceptable discectomy for spinal fusion,” stated Sohrab Virk, MD. “Via an exhaustive cadaveric evaluation, we discovered that discectomy efficiency was equal between an endoscopic TLIF strategy and a conventional tubular MIS strategy.”
