Core Tip	Perioperative outcomes in minimally invasive (MIS) approaches to the lumbar spine have not been specifically examined in systematic reviews of MIS lumbar laminectomy, direct lateral and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) surgeries. Based on perioperative outcomes data, MIS approach is superior to open approach for TLIF. For laminectomy, MIS and open approaches can be chosen based on surgeon preference. For lateral approaches, there is insufficient evidence to find non-inferior perioperative outcomes at this time.
