Abstract

To assess the short-term outcome of unilateral pedicle screw fixed intervertebral fusion surgery for degenerative disc disease via MAST QUADRANT minimally invasive system. Thirty patients with degenerative lumbar disease from September 2009 to September 2011 were enrolled and divided into two groups: (1) unilateral pedicle screw fixed intervertebral fusion via MAST QUADRANT system; and (2) conventional bilateral pedicle fixed intervertebral fusion via open surgery. The perioperative parameters (operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and length of stay) and the follow-up clinical curative effect parameters (VAS and ODI) were compared between two groups. All patients successfully completed surgery and were followed up for more than 1 year. The perioperative parameters of MAST QUADRANT system group were significantly better than the control group (P < 0.05). And the clinical curative effects were similar to conventional surgery (P > 0.05). Unilateral pedicle screw fixed intervertebral fusion via MAST QUADRANT system is a less invasive and safer surgical techniques. It offers a quick recovery and effective surgical option in the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases.
