Mini-invasive Lumbar Arthrodesis in Ambulatory: Pilot Study "ALAMBU"
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating mini-invasive lumbar arthrodesis for Lumbar Spine Degeneration. Completed, enrolled 39 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Degenerative lumbar pathologies are characterised by functional impairment and the occurrence of severe chronic pain and disability Arthrodesis of the lumbar spine is a common surgery for the treatment of degenerative lumbar pathologies. It is commonly performed during a hospital stay that can vary from 3 to 7 days. The development of mini-invasive techniques and the development of the Improved Rehabilitation after Surgery programmes, has considerably reduced the hospital stay of the patients. It is possible that in the future mini-invasive lumbar arthrodesis will be performed on an ambulatory as a standard procedure, but its safety, efficacy and patient satisfaction must be proven and validated.

Timeline
Interventions
* The mini-invasive posterior approach is performed using a trans-muscular Wiltse approach. Pedicle screws, neurological decompression and intersomatic cage placement are performed. * The mini-invasive anterior approach is performed via a left retroperitoneal pararectal approach. After complete discectomy, an intersomatic cage stabilised by a screwed plate will be placed.
