However, direct comparative data on mini\u2010open transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MO\u2010TLIF) and conventional open TLIF in this population remain limited. This study compared perioperative surgical burden, postoperative pain and functional recovery trajectories, and 12\u2010month radiographic fusion and satisfaction between MO\u2010TLIF and conventional open TLIF in patients aged \u2265\u200975\u2009years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This prospective cohort study included 172 patients aged \u2265\u200975\u2009years with degenerative lumbar disease who underwent MO\u2010TLIF (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200984) or open TLIF (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200988). Eligible patients considered suitable for both procedures were alternately assigned to the MO\u2010TLIF or open TLIF group according to the order of enrollment. Perioperative variables included operative time, blood loss, time to first ambulation, length of stay, and complications. Laboratory markers on postoperative day (POD) 3 were assessed to reflect muscle injury and inflammatory response. Patient\u2010reported outcomes were assessed preoperatively and at POD 5, 1\u2009month, 3\u2009months, and 6\u2009months using VAS (leg and back pain), Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Radiographic fusion at 12\u2009months was graded using the Bridwell classification, and satisfaction at 12\u2009months was evaluated with the modified MacNab criteria.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups.
