Surgery was most commonly performed at the L4\u2013L5 level (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009100, 40%). The most common preoperative diagnosis was spondylolisthesis (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200974, 47.7%). In the first 30 cases, 3 surgeries were aborted to an MIS TLIF. Complications included 3 unintentional ALL ruptures (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20093\/250, 1.2%), and 1 malpositioned implant impinging on the contralateral foramen requiring revision (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091\/250, 0.4%), which all occurred within the first 30 cases. Out of 147 patients with more than 6-week follow-ups, there were 3 cases of femoral nerve palsy (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20093\/147, 2.0%). Two cases of femoral nerve palsy improved to preoperative strength by the 6th week postoperatively, while one improved to 4\/5 preoperative strength by 1\u00a0year. There were no cases of bowel perforation or vascular injury.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Our single-surgeon experience demonstrates the initial learning curve when adopting pLLIF. Thereafter, we experienced reproducibility in our technique and large improvements in our operative times, and complication profile. We experienced no technical complications after the 30th case.
