General:
- Traditional MIS deformity correction often involves multiple stages with position changes (supine for ALIF, lateral decubitus for LLIF, prone for posterior).
- Single-position surgery (lateral or prone) for combined approaches decreases time under anaesthesia and increases efficiency.
- Reports show decreased blood loss, complications, and length of stay compared to traditional two-stage surgery.
- The prone transpsoas approach (PTP) allows the lumbar spine to fall into natural lordotic alignment.
