2026
Here, we present a protocol to perform full-endoscopic trans-Kambin triangle lumbar interbody fusion (KLIF). The protocol utilizes a posterolateral approach via Kambin’s triangle for safe expandable cage insertion and neural decompression while preserving dorsal facet structure and minimizing soft tissue trauma.

Interbody fusion of the lumbar spine can be achieved surgically using different techniques. Minimally invasive techniques, including lateral interbody fusion, have been developed within recent decades to reduce rates of complications and allow for quicker patient recovery. We provide insight into stand-alone lateral trans-psoas interbody fusion, highlighting potential complications and pitfalls.

In a right triangle, trigonometric functions establish specific ratios that describe the relationship between the lengths of the triangle's sides and its acute angles. These relationships are foundational in understanding the structure of right-angled geometry. The sine function quantifies the proportion of the side opposite a given angle compared to the triangle's hypotenuse. In contrast, the cosine function expresses how the side adjacent to the angle relates to the hypotenuse in terms of...

The process of converting very light nuclei into heavier nuclei is also accompanied by the conversion of mass into large amounts of energy, a process called fusion. The principal source of energy in the sun is a net fusion reaction in which four hydrogen nuclei fuse and ultimately produce one helium nucleus and two positrons. A helium nucleus has a mass that is 0.7% less than that of four hydrogen nuclei; this lost mass is converted into energy during the fusion. This reaction produces about...

FAQs
Safety depends on treating the Kambin triangle as a bordered neural corridor rather than simply an entry point. The exiting and traversing nerve roots lie around this route, so imaging defines the anatomy and neural decompression addresses compression before or during stabilization. This relationship explains why protecting both roots is central to avoiding neurologic injury while reaching the disc.
The transforaminal route is designed to limit disruption of posterior muscles and bone while providing access to the lumbar disc. By reducing interference with these posterior structures, the technique may lessen postoperative tissue trauma and pain and support faster recovery than more extensive approaches. Its value therefore depends on gaining adequate disc access without unnecessary posterior anatomical disruption.
After damaged disc material is removed, preparing the vertebral endplates creates the treated surface for placing an interbody cage or graft. That implant then contributes to stabilization of the affected motion segment. These steps connect disc removal with mechanical support, rather than treating neural compression or disc damage as an isolated problem.
The procedure uses imaging to guide access through the transforaminal corridor, followed by removal of damaged disc material and preparation of the endplates. Surgeons then place an interbody cage or graft and stabilize the motion segment. Neural decompression and continued attention to the exiting and traversing nerve roots remain important throughout the approach.
The technique may be considered for selected cases of degenerative disc disease, foraminal stenosis, or spinal instability. Suitability depends on whether the transforaminal corridor can provide access while allowing necessary neural decompression and stabilization. These conditions represent different reasons for surgery, so the approach must match the disc, foraminal, and motion-segment problem being treated.
Its potential outcomes combine structural stabilization with protection of neural function. By addressing damaged disc material, foraminal narrowing, or instability while limiting posterior tissue disruption, the procedure may reduce postoperative pain and promote faster recovery. Careful management of the adjacent nerve roots is particularly relevant to neuroscience because these structures border the operative corridor and can be affected by decompression or access.
