Oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion
Oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion (OLLIF) is a minimally-invasive spinal fusion technique designed to deal with conditions that cause lower back pain, such as degenerative disc disease, spinal disc herniation, spondylolisthesis (forward shift of a spinal disc), scoliosis (sideways curve of the spine) and spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal).[1][2] Developed in 2011 by Inspired Spine, a minimally-invasive spinal surgery technology company based in Blaine, Minnesota, the technique was performed for the first time in 2012. As of July 2016, the procedure has been performed over 300 times.[3]
