Key Clinical Message The incidence of spinal fusion surgery and associated adjacent segment disease (ASD) is steadily increasing. We report three cases of ASD after posterior fixation, treated by oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF). All cases had a good postoperative course. Altogether, OLIF surgery may be a viable option for treating ASD.
