Objectives: To investigate the effect of lumbar interbody fusion via the oblique
lateral approach (OLIF) in the treatment of single level lumbar
spondylolisthesis. Methods: Retrospective analysis was made on 32 cases
of single level lumbar spondylolisthesis treated by lumbar interbody fusion via
the oblique lateral approach from July 2020 to July 2021. 14 males and 18
females; the age was (66.5 ± 11.5) years (55 - 82
years). 1) The operation time, intraoperative blood
loss and complications were recorded; 2) the scores of visual analog scale. VAS and Oswestry disability index (ODI) of low back pain and
lower limb pain were collected before operation and at the last follow-up; by observing the imaging data, the height of the
intervertebral space, the anterior convex angle of the intervertebral space, the anterior convex angle of the lumbar spine, the sagittal diameter of the dural sac and the spondylolisthesis
were measured. Results: All patients successfully completed the
operation, the average operation time was
(103.9 ± 21.1) min, the average intraoperative
