How Minimally Invasive Spinal Fusion is Performed
At OrthoNeuro, a Minimally Invasive Spinal Fusion can be performed as an outpatient or inpatient procedure based on what you and your OrthoNeuro Spine Surgeon feel are best for you.
During a Minimally Invasive Spinal Fusion procedure:
- The disc is removed. The damaged or herniated intervertebral disc is removed.
- The disc is replaced. A bone graft filled implant is carefully placed between adjacent vertebrae.
- The implant is fixated. Rods or plates and screws fixate adjacent vertebrae so they may fuse to form a single solid bone.
Depending upon your unique condition there are several types of Minimally Invasive Spinal Fusion approaches:
- Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF)
- Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF)
- Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF)
- Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (XLIF)
