Arthroscopic-Assisted Uni-Portal Spinal Surgery vs MIS-TLIF for Single-Level Stable Degenerative Lumbar Spondylolisthesis: A Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Study designA prospective nonrandomized observational cohort study.ObjectiveTo compare the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic-assisted uniportal spinal surgery combined with unilateral laminotomy bilateral decompression (AUSS-ULBD) and minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) in the treatment of single-segment stable degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS).MethodsA total of 168 patients (AUSS-ULBD n = 86, MIS-TLIF n = 82) with single-segment stable DLS were included. The patients were followed up for at least 2 years. The primary outcome was Oswestry disability index (ODI). Other perioperative indicators, clinical, and radiological outcomes were also compared.ResultsFor ODI, the adjusted mean differences (AUSS-ULBD minus MIS-TLIF) were 1.20 (95% CI -0.85 to 3
