ABSTRACT
In a 50-year-old female patient, presenting with permanent low lumbar back pain and intermittent neurological alterations due to degenerative disc disease L4-5 and L5-/S1 we demonstrate that two-level anterior interbody fusion can be performed via laparoscopic transabdominal instrumentation using BAK interbody implants. Intervertebral disc space L5-/S1 was stabilized approaching the spine caudally of the aortic bifurcation, while disc space L4-L5 required an approach from the left lateral aspect, mobilizing the aorta and vena cava to the right. The postoperative course was without complications and allowed discharge from the hospital on day 8. X-ray control 4 months later demonstrated restoration of adequate disc space at L4-L5 and L5-/S1 and appropriate positioning of the implants.
