The special technique for lumber intervertebral body fusion by disc excision by lateral approach and transverse bone grafts has been presented. The advantages of this technique were that solid early stabilization and early fusion were expected by large amounts of bone grafts, which occupied intervertebral space more widely, and the integrity of anterior longitudinal ligament. Of the 24 patients of several degenrated disk diseases, all of them became asymptomatic and solid fusions occurred within 3-4 months after surgery.
