Minimally-Invasive Surgical (MIS) TLIF
Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is a surgical procedure that removes a painful lumbar disc and replaces it with either a block of bone or a fusion device to allow bone to grow across the disc space creating a fusion. TLIF can be done through a traditional “open” approach, where a larger incision is made in the middle of your back, or through a minimally-invasive surgical (MIS) approach. With the MIS technique, two smaller incisions are made on each side of the back and special instruments called retractors are used to provide access to the spine with minimal disruption of the muscle tissue. The minimally-invasive TLIF technique has the benefit of smaller incisions, less blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery as compared to the traditional TLIF procedure.
