This article presents the results of a prospective cohort study that looked at the incidence of complications in patients with lumbar spondylosis who underwent TLIF with either unilateral or bilateral instrumentation.</style></abstract><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">50</style></number><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14</style></volume></record></records></xml>
