The paraspinal, posterolateral, or Wiltse approach is an old technique that observes the principles of MIS procedure. aim this study was to provide a step-by-step description from literature paraspinal and analyze its main advantages limitations.Here, we approach. Utilizing PubMed Lilacs Mesh terms "Wiltse approach," "paraspinal "muscle sparing "lumbar spine," identified 10 papers.
