Utilization of Dual Expandable Cages in Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion Surgery.

The aim of this study is to present a case series of adult patients with lumbar degenerative scoliosis who underwent focused minimally invasive spine (MIS) surgery utilizing a new dual expandable cage technology. The study investigates the effectiveness of this approach in reducing the symptoms and progression of lumbar degenerative scoliosis (LDS). Adult patients with lumbar degenerative scoliosis were selected for focused MIS using the newly introduced expandable cage technology. Patient demographics, preoperative evaluations, surgical details, and postoperative outcomes were recorded. The primary outcome measures included the restoration of disc space height, an improvement in clinical outcomes, and a reduction in surgical complications. Analysis of the case series reveals promising outcomes following focused MIS with the utilization of the new expandable cage technology. The technique demonstrated successful restoration of intervertebral disc space heights and improved clinical outcomes in patients with lumbar degenerative scoliosis. Furthermore, a notable reduction in surgical complications was observed. The findings from this case series suggest that MIS with the implementation of the new expandable cage technology holds promise for patients with lumbar degenerative scoliosis. This approach appears to have the potential to effectively restore disc space heights, improve clinical outcomes, and minimize surgical complications. Here, we want to emphasize and add details to the improved clinical outcomes of this technology; however, further research and larger prospective studies are warranted to validate these preliminary results and establish the long-term benefits and safety profile of this innovative technique.
