Dr. Ferrández presented the Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion (OLIF) approach to the lumbar spine, a less invasive alternative for revision surgery in patients with prior lumbar spine procedures. Following the presentation, he conducted a live surgical demonstration, sponsored by SpineNature, showcasing the application of a new generation of cementless pedicle screws designed for osteoporotic patients. The surgery was broadcast via the TVCC to a specialized audience in the Meeting Room at Clínica Vistahermosa, Alicante.
First Meeting in Elche about eXtreme Lateral approach to the lumbar spine (XLIF)
Dr. Ferrandez, our esteemed spine specialist, conducted two demonstration surgeries to highlight the significant corrective potential of XLIF, a contemporary minimally invasive procedure. XLIF minimizes disruption to healthy tissues while addressing severe lumbar deformities in elderly patients. This advanced technique broadens the eligibility criteria for corrective surgery among patients with spinal degenerative deformities across a wider age spectrum.
The accompanying radiographic images illustrate the post-operative straightening of the patients’ lumbar spines, achieved through the implantation of four bone wedges (or specify the type: e.g., «four titanium bone wedges,» «four PEEK bone wedges») into the intervertebral spaces within the affected curvature.
