Methods

This study was a registration study, selected 27 patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis from May 2011 to March 2014 in our hospital. Patients in one group are treated with computer assisted navigation minimally invasive TLIF (CAMISS -TLIF) while the others are treated with the OP-TLIF (OPEN-TLIF). The former group has 13 cases while the latter group has 14 cases. We collected information and present statistical analysis on the following aspects in order to compare the two different surgical methods of treatment. They are the operation duration, blood loss, days of hospitalisation, the preoperative and follow-up JOA and JOA improvement rate, the preoperative and follow-up ODI scores, the preoperative and follow-up VAS and Odom's criteria. By analysing the follow-up CT results, we compare the pedicle screw accuracy rate between the two groups in order to make a comprehensive assessment of these two surgical methods.
