Least Invasive Lumbar Decompression, Interbody Fusion &
Pedicle Screw Implantation (LINDIF)
A Case Series Report
Said G Osman, M.D.
List of Desirables
Desire to reduce:
* Surgical trauma
* Blood loss and the need for transfusion
* Anesthetic time
* Hospital stay
Post-op pain medicines
Down time to normal activities early
* Risk of complications in the elderly
* Escalating health care cost
* Desire by elderly patients to maintain high level of physical activities
To determine if LINDIF can realize those desirable outcomes
Patient Sample: Case series by one surgeon at two centers
Outcome Measures: Operating time; intra-operative blood loss;
hospital stay; VAS scores for back and leg pain; Roland-Morris
Disability Questionnaire; and post-operative imaging studies.

CONCLUSION
LINDIF minimizes surgical trauma:
Avoids violation of natural cavities –
spinal, peritoneal, thoracic
Avoids excision of the facet joint
Avoids the Psoas Space
Avoids retroperitoneal space
Reduced Surgery time
Reduced Blood loss
Short Hospital stay
Minimal rate of complications
Good symptomatic relief
Walking 3 hrs post-op
CONCLUSION
VERY WELL TOLERATED BY ELDERLY PATIENTS
LEAST STRESSFUL FOR THE SURGICAL TEAM
CONCLUSION
Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) is needed to determine:
Accuracy of above findings
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
Reduction in rehab duration
Earlier return to prior occupation/recreation
Complication compared with open & other MIS procedures.
