Nerve injury is an understudied complication of extreme lateral interbody fusion. A detailed description of the nerve anatomy would be helpful for surgeons to minimize the risk of this complication. The lumbar plexus and lumbar sympathetic nerve of 10 embalmed male cadavers were dissected, and the distribution, number, and spatial orientation of the nerves on the L1\/2 to L4\/5 intervertebral discs were examined. Metal wires were applied along nerve paths through the psoas major muscle. The position of the nerves was examined on CT. In zone III at L1\/2 and L4\/5, no nerves were found. In zone II and zone III at L2\/3, no lumbar plexus was found, and only the ramus communicans passed through. At the L1\u2010L5 level, the density of nerves in the posterior half of the psoas major muscle was greater than that in the anterior half. The lumbar plexus was found in all of zone IV. The genitofemoral nerve emerges superficially and anteriorly from the medial border of the psoas major at the L3\u20134 level, but at the L1\/2 level, the sympathetic trunk is located in zone II. The remaining disc\u2010level sympathetic trunks appear in zone I. No nerves were found in zone III of the L1\/2 or L4\/5 disc. In zones II and III of L2\/3, the lumbar plexus appears safe. The genitofemoral nerve travels through zones II and III of L3\/4. The distribution density of nerves in the posterior half of the psoas major muscle was greater than that in the anterior half of that muscle at the L1\u2010L5 level.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ca.24177","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,10]],"date-time":"2024-05-10T07:00:15Z","timestamp":1715324415000},"page":"20-28","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Anatomical
