Abstract：Nerve injury is one of the most common complications during the procedure of lumbar extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF). In order to reduce the risk of intraoperative nerve injury, and to improve surgical safety and accuracy, neuroimaging technology has been applied to display lumbosacral plexus nerve root clearly before XLIF operation. In this paper, the advantages of neuroimaging application in XLIF, the imaging of lumbosacral plexus nerve with neuroradiography, and the clinical value of measurement and partitioning data about XLIF neuroimaging were reviewed.
