Minimally invasive (MI) techniques were introduced to reduce perioperative morbidity versus open procedures. Here, we compared the perioperative characteristics, radiographic outcomes, and long-term complications for 1-level MI versus open TLIF.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nMethods: <\/jats:title>\nRetrospectively, 62 adults underwent single-level open versus MI TLIF at a tertiary academic (2021\u2013 2024). Clinical, radiographic, and outcome data were collected, along with the evaluation of other variables: operative time, blood loss, hospital stay, adverse events, adjacent segment disease (ASD), and radiographic correction of lordosis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nResults: <\/jats:title>\nMI TLIF resulted in shorter hospital stays (length of stay [LOS]) (4.1 vs. 7.7 days), reduced estimated blood loss (EBL) (51.5 vs. 185.1 mL), less drain use, but similar fusion and reoperation rates. Open TLIF resulted in more durotomies (18.8% vs. 0%), a higher rate of ASD (50.0% vs. 23.03%), but greater global and segmental lordosis correction. Notably, functional outcome and symptom improvement remained similar between the two groups.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nConclusion: <\/jats:title>\nPatients undergoing single-level MI TLIF exhibited shorter LOS, reduced EBL, recoveries, and reduced ASD risk, while those undergoing open TLIF exhibited better postoperative global\/sagittal alignment correction. Notably, both groups exhibited comparable functional
