Abstract

Potential complications from lateral transpsoas approaches to the lumbar spine include injury to the bowel, vasculature, and most commonly, the lumbar plexus. In the open and extreme lumber interbody fusion approaches (OLIF and XLIF, respectively), further subtle anatomical differences affect the complication profile. Broadly, these complications can be classed as retroperitoneal and peritoneal. Herein, complications related to lateral approaches are discussed.
