ObjectiveWe sought to describe a novel technique in managing a patient with adjacent segment disease at the L5/S1 level.MethodsWe performed an endoscope-assisted anterior lumbar interbody fusion with computed tomography-guided, image-navigated unilateral cortical bone trajectory screw fixation to treat L5/S1 intervertebral disk pathology.ResultsPatient was successfully treated by a direct endoscopic decompression through the anterior access, interbody fusion using an anterior lumbar interbody fusion cage, unilateral cortical bone trajectory instrumentation under computed tomography-guided image navigation.ConclusionsThis minimally invasive technique is effective in terms of decompression and fixation. It could be used as an alternative method to treat patients with L5/S1 adjacent segment disease.Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
