TLIF Description
What TLIF Surgery Can Do For You
Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) is an advanced surgical procedure that provides lasting relief for chronic lower back pain and related symptoms. At Legent Spine, our expert surgeons perform this minimally invasive procedure to stabilize the spine and help patients return to their active lifestyles.
Understanding TLIF Surgery
During a TLIF procedure, your surgeon accesses the spine through a small incision in your back. The procedure involves removing damaged disc material and inserting a spacer (cage) filled with bone graft material between the vertebrae. Additional hardware, such as screws and rods, helps stabilize the spine while the bones fuse together.
Conditions TLIF Can Treat
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spondylolisthesis (vertebral slippage)
- Spinal stenosis
- Recurring herniated discs
- Failed previous spine surgery
