Özet

Aim: Transforaminal interbody fusion (TLIF) technique is used to provide fusion in spine surgery. The technique itself has technical details and can lead to serious complications if not paid attention to them. Determining the size of the TLIF cage used in this pro-cess is also an important technical detail. Method: In this retrospective study we wanted to evaluate the predictability of the cage size used in TLIF surgery. For this pur-pose, we examined the disc heights and cage sizes of 22 patients who underwent TLIF surgery. Results: Nine of the patients were male, 13 were female with an overall mean age of 52.3 yeras (30-72). There was no statistically significant correlation between the sizes of the cages used, and disc heights. Conclusion: We think that taking care of technical details is app-ropriate for determination of the cage size used in TLIF proce-dure.
