Abstract: 1.13; p = 0.005).Radiographically, Cobb angle improved from 28.8 • preoperatively to 21.9 • postoperatively and was maintained at 1YPO.LL increased from 42.4 • preoperatively to 45.5 • postoperatively and remained stable at 1YPO, while coronal vertical axis (CVA) and sagittal vertical axis (SVA) remained largely unchanged.Conclusion: In patients with DLS undergoing 1-or 2-level SA-LLIF, the rate of revision surgery within the first 2 years was low, with cumulative revision rates over longer follow-up comparable to those reported for posterior fusion procedures.Revision risk was primarily influenced by patient age rather than radiographic parameters.Overall, these findings support SA-LLIF as a less invasive surgical option for carefully selected patients with DLS, achieving sustained coronal and sagittal correction with an acceptable reoperation profile.
