Billinghurst JA et al. - The goal of minimally invasive spine surgery is to decrease operative time, decrease blood loss, improve cosmesis, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery time. Extreme lateral interbody fusion is a relatively new technique whereby access to the disc space is achieved through a minimally invasive lateral, retroperitoneal, trans-psoas approach. The nerves of the lumbar plexus reside within the psoas, and the technique is dependent upon real-time electromyographic monitoring.
