Abstract

Introduction: Extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) is a minimally invasive surgical technique with a small incision, does not cause of transpsoas trauma, so the postoperative recovery time is quick, limiting the disadvantages of open or minimally invasive posterior surgery. Objective: To evaluate   quality of life in patients with spinal stenosis after extreme lateral interbody fusion surgery. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 27 patients who underwent XLIF surgery at Hanoi Medical University Hospital from April 2019 to May 2024. Quality of life was assessed using VAS, ODI, JOA and EQ-5D-5L scores. Results: 27 patients included 12 males and 15 females with an average age of 58.81±8.1. The quality of life of patients after surgery was significantly improved based on the back VAS from 7.11±1.31 to 2.81±1.55, leg VAS from 6.81±2.19 to 1.23±1.63, ODI score from 27.8±8.50 to 12.90±7.70, JOA score from 7.63±2.87 to 13.6±1.82, EQ-5D-5L score from 19±3.14 to 11.70±1.98. Conclusion: XLIF surgery significantly improved the level of pain and quality of life of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis
