The Optimal Patient Position on the Surgical Table for Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion in Adult Spinal Deformity Using Three-Dimensional Computed Tomography: A Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) techniques have been extensively used in adult spinal deformity surgery. Preoperative knowledge of the optimal position of the patient on the surgical table is essential for a safe procedure. Therefore, this study aims to determine the optimal angle for positioning the patient on the surgical table during LLIF using three-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT).

Methods

Data from 59 patients (2 males, 57 females, mean age 66.3±8.6 years) with adult spinal deformities treated by performing corrective spinal surgery were included in this observational retrospective study. Simulated fluoroscopic images were obtained using 3DCT images rotated from the reference position with the spinous process of S1 as the midline to the positi
