First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study looked at two different surgical methods for treating lower back problems caused by worn-out discs. Researchers compared a standard open-back surgery to a newer, less invasive technique called MAS PLIF. They tracked complications and pain levels in 67 adults who needed surgery on one or two discs in the lower spine. The goal was to see if the newer approach offered similar or better short-term results.
