Abstract：Objective To discuss the advantages of MIS-TLIF which assisted by the disposable radiolucent tube system in treating lumbar disc herniation. Methods From January 2014 to 2015 January,a total of 54 cases of lumbar disc herniation in our hospital were collected. All of them underwent MIS-TLIF assisted by the disposable radiolucent tube and LED light system. The surgery time,intraoperative blood loss,X-ray exposure time,bed time and built in poor location were record. The Oswestry Disability Index(ODI),back and leg pain Visual Analogue scores(VAS),and X-ray examination were performed before sur-gery,after surgery and during follow-up. Results The follow-up time was 12 months. The average operation time was 74 min, the average blood loss was 95 mL,the average number of intraoperative X-ray was 12 times,the average time was 1. 7 days. A total of 5 cases(9. 2% )which built in poor location were found intraoperative X-ray. The postoperative VAS score and ODI score were significantly improved compared with the preoperative,the difference was statistically significant(P ﹤ 0. 05). All patients got bony fusion at the end of the follow-up. Conclusion MIS-TLIF assisted by the disposable radiolucent tube system in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation is effective and have the advantages of good x-ray image and low cost.
