Brief description/objective

The use of the lateral decubitus approach for L5-S1 anterior lumbar interbody fusion (LALIF) is a recent advancement capable of facilitating single-position surgery, revision operations, and anterior column reconstruction. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first description of the use of LALIF at L5-S1 for failed prior transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and anterior column reconstruction. Using an illustrative case, the authors discuss their experience using LALIF at L5-S1 for the revision of pseudoarthrosis and TLIF failure.
