Objective: To summarize the guiding role of imaging evaluation of oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) in recent years.
Methods: The reports of OLIF surgical imaging research at home and abroad in recent years were extensively reviewed and analyzed.
Results: Preoperative imaging evaluation plays an important role in guiding the operation of OLIF, the placement of fusion Cage, the selection of indications, and the reduction of complications.
Conclusion: Detailed preoperative imaging evaluation can correctly estimate the indications of OLIF, and avoid the nerve, blood vessel, and muscle injuries.
目的: 总结近年影像学评估对斜外侧腰椎椎间融合术（oblique lumbar interbody fusion，OLIF）的指导作用。.
方法: 广泛查阅近年来国内外于 OLIF 的影像学研究文献，并进行总结分析。.
结果: 术前影像学评估对 OLIF 手术入路操作、椎间融合器放置位置、适应证选择、减少并发症发生等方面具有重要指导作用。.
结论: 术前详细影像学评估可以更好地把握 OLIF 手术适应证，有效避免神经、血管、肌肉损伤的发生。.
