    Endo-OLIF demonstrated shorter operative time, less blood loss, and reduced hospital stay compared to PLIF in treating lumbar degenerative diseases.

  • 2

    Early post-operative VAS and ODI scores were significantly lower in the Endo-OLIF group, indicating better immediate pain relief and functional improvement.

  • 3

    There were no significant differences in long-term VAS and ODI scores, fusion rates, or complication rates between Endo-OLIF and PLIF.

  • 4

    Endo-OLIF achieved better restoration of disc height and lumbar lordosis compared to PLIF, enhancing spinal alignment.

  • 5

    The study supports the broader clinical application of Endo-OLIF due to its minimally invasive nature and favorable early outcomes.
