What Is TLIF Surgery?

TLIF is a spinal fusion procedure used to treat disc damage and nerve compression in the lower back (lumbar spine). It involves removing a worn or herniated disc and inserting a bone graft or interbody cage between two vertebrae. Over time, the vertebrae fuse together, restoring spinal stability and relieving pressure on nerves.

At NYSI, we refer eligible patients for minimally invasive TLIF, which uses smaller incisions and advanced tools to support faster healing and reduced post-op discomfort.

Conditions Treated with TLIF

Our Bronx spine team may recommend TLIF if non-surgical treatments like injections or physical therapy haven’t brought sufficient relief.

Common diagnoses include:

Herniated discs with leg or buttock pain (sciatica)
Degenerative disc disease due to age-related wear
Spondylolisthesis, when a vertebra slips forward
Spinal instability that limits motion or causes nerve issues
Traumatic or osteoporotic fractures affecting spine alignment

Each patient’s treatment plan is built around detailed evaluation and imaging, with an emphasis on safety and long-term outcomes.

Why Choose Minimally Invasive TLIF?

For many patients, TLIF can be performed using minimally invasive techniques, which means:

Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
Reduced muscle disruption and faster recovery
Lower risk of infection or surgical complications
Shorter hospital stay—many return home the same or next day
Faster return to walking, working, and daily activities

This is especially important for Bronx patients managing family, jobs, or commuting responsibilities—helping you get back to your routine sooner.
