Multimodality Neuromonitoring in XLIF (NV in XLIF®)

• The sensitivity and specificity of EMG and SSEP (if available) testing in identifying neural injury. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  For evaluation of the primary endpoint and additional assessments, descriptive statistics including mean, standard deviation, minimum, median, and maximum for continuous variables and frequency distribution for categorical variables will be provided, as well as tabular listings. All complications will be itemized including incidence, duration, and relationship to devices used and/or procedures performed.
  
  

Subjects will present with degenerative conditions in the lumbar spine that are amenable to surgical treatment and will be screened prior to study enrollment. Subjects will undergo neuromonitoring during the XLIF operation, as per standard care. They will then be re-evaluated immediately after surgery and at the first standard postoperative follow-up visit (6 weeks) to assess for presence of new neural deficit. If a new neural deficit is identified, the patient will be followed per the Investigator's standard follow-up schedule until symptoms have resolved (or are deemed permanent).

A total of 300 subjects will be enrolled in this study from multiple centers. The subjects will have degenerative conditions of the lumbar spine with planned treatment including XLIF surgery. The following eligibility criteria are designed to identify existing clinic patients for whom study under this protocol is considered appropriate. All subjects must meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria below in order to be considered for enrollment.
