This case underscores the significance of intraoperative monitoring techniques like t-EMG in optimizing surgical precision and ensuring patient safety. By leveraging advanced technologies and techniques, surgeons can minimize the risk of complications and improve outcomes for patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery.

During the procedure, stimulation of the dilator revealed a concerning response in the left quadriceps muscles, indicating a heightened sensitivity to nerve stimulation. Recognizing the potential risks associated with proceeding as planned, the surgical team swiftly adjusted course. Instead of XLIF, the surgeon opted for Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF). TLIF provides better visualization, access to the nerve roots and allows decompression while avoiding the lumbar plexus.
