Three cases of adjacent segment disease post-posterior spinal fusion, treated successfully by oblique lateral interbody fusion: A clinical series

Abstract

The incidence of spinal fusion surgery and associated adjacent segment disease (ASD) is steadily increasing. We report three cases of ASD after posterior fixation, treated by oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF). All cases had a good postoperative course. Altogether, OLIF surgery may be a viable option for treating ASD.
