2. Researchers evaluated 390 patients who had anterior lumbar interbody fusion and/or lateral lumbar interbody fusion surgery with bilateral percutaneous pedicle screw fixation between L2-S1

3. Single-position lateral surgery reduced operating time by more than three hours and decreased average hospital stay by two days, according to the study.
