The review process was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines and registered in the PROSPERO database. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software provided by the Cochrane Library.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:list-item>\n <\/jats:list>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n \n \n Thirteen studies were included in the statistical analysis. One randomized controlled study and 12 cohort studies with 954 patients were included. In terms of operation time, intraoperative blood loss, Oswestry disability index score, intervertebral height, and complications, the OLIF group was better than the TLIF group, and the difference was statistically significant (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009< 0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of visual analogue scale score, lumbar lordosis or fused segment lordosis (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n > 0.05).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:list-item>\n <\/jats:list>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n \n \n Both OLIF and TLIF are effective surgical modalities in the treatment of degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis. They achieve similar therapeutic effects, but OLIF is superior to TLIF in restoring intervertebral height. At the same time, OLIF has the advantages of short operation time and less intraoperative blood loss.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:list-item>\n <\/jats:list>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1530\/eor-22-0042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,20]],"date-time":"2022-09-20T05:08:58Z","timestamp":1663650538000},"page":"663-670","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-16","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Meta-analysis of the clinical efficacy and safety of oblique lateral interbody fusion and transforaminal interbody fusion in the treatment of degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis"],"prefix":"10.1530","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5855-5223","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Wen-xi","family":"Sun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hao-nan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meng-tong","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong-peng","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Spine Center, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hong-shen","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Spine Center, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bo-lai","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou, China"},{"name":"Division of Spine Center, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"416","reference":[{"key":"bib1","series-title":"Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery: British Volume","first-page":"184","article-title":"Degenerative spondylolisthesis","volume":"58","author":"Fitzgerald","year":"1976","unstructured":"Fitzgerald JANewman PH.
