I had breakfast yesterday with an XLIF surgeon from Los Angeles; Larry Khoo, co-director of spine at UCLA. One of the things we discussed was XLIF. Very interesting contrasts... he describes XLIF as "mini-ALPA" The instrumentation that Nuvasive has developed allow even smaller access.
I like Dr. Khoo. He got on my radar at SAS with excellent presentations about several minimally invasive procedures that have nothing to do with ADR. Also, I was researching a very complex FBSS case that includes AXIALIF and he came highly recommended. He's pretty amazing. I'm looking forward to spending more time with him.
All the best,
Mark
