Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Being confronted more and more with obese as well as older patients, minimally invasive surgery is said to keep the surgical trauma low. The prospective long-term evaluation is the continuous monitoring of patients undergoing lumbar minimally invasive fusion surgery and analyzing the effect of body mass index (BMI) and wound healing.
