Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion

Procedure Details
When chronic low back pain persists after exhausting all other forms of conservative care, and minimally invasive decompression is not recommended based on the severity of your conditions and symptoms, all is not lost. You may still be treated through minimally invasive options, such as a transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) or lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF). In both cases, the surgeon will first complete an MRI review followed by a full clinical evaluation to determine the best course of treatment.
A spinal fusion is utilized to correct instability of the vertebrae, which will, in turn, alleviate symptoms of chronic low back pain and painful motion. The surgeon may recommend an anterior, posterior or lateral approach depending on the area that must be treated in order to correct the conditions causing your pain.
By definition, a spinal fusion is a technique used in surgery to join two or more vertebrae. A spinal fusion may require a bone graft along with hardware, such as plates, pedicle screws, cages, etc. These types of instrumentation are used to stabilize the vertebrae while the body grows new bone and fusion takes place.
What is a transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion?
A transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is a minimally invasive technique used for nerve decompression and to permanently fuse the bones of the spine to prevent vertebral movement. The TLIF procedure allows the surgeon to treat both the posterior (back) and anterior (front) of the spine.
