Various factors were compared between the two groups, including operation time, blood loss, incision length, fluoroscopy frequency, and hospital stay. Visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, Oswestry disability index (ODI), and complications were also recorded.Results: Patients in PTES group showed significantly shorter operation time (54± 10min vs 103± 18min, P< 0.001), lower blood loss (5/2-15mL vs 60/40-100mL, P< 0.001), shorter incision length (9± 2mm vs 41± 3mm, P< 0.001), reduced fluoroscopy frequency (5/5-10 times vs 7/6-11 times, P< 0.001) and shorter hospital stay (3/2-4 days vs 6/4-8 days, P< 0.001) than MIS-TLIF group. No differences in leg VAS scores were found between the two groups. However, PTES group showed significantly lower back VAS scores during follow-ups (P< 0.001). At 2-year follow-up, PTES group also had significantly lower ODI scores compared to MIS-TLIF group (12.0± 3.6% vs 15.8± 4.9%, P< 0.01).Conclusion: PTES and MIS-TLIF showed favorable clinical outcomes for LDD in obese patients. Compared with MIS-TLIF, PTES has advantages of less trauma and faster recovery, and can be conducted under local anesthesia.Keywords: lumbar degenerative disease, PTES, MIS-TLIF, obesity, minimally invasive surgery
