Brooklyn, NY MIS TLIF

Stabilize your spine with less downtime and lasting relief.

Smart Spine Fusion, Close to Home in Brooklyn

If you’re living with chronic lower back pain, sciatica, or spinal instability, it may be time to consider surgical options. At New York Spine Institute in Brooklyn, we specialize in Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (MIS TLIF)—a modern spine fusion technique designed to relieve nerve pressure and restore spinal strength with faster healing and minimal disruption.

Located in Sunset Park, our Brooklyn office delivers expert care backed by NYC-level credentials—right in your neighborhood.

What Is MIS TLIF?

MIS TLIF is an advanced form of lumbar spinal fusion. The procedure removes a damaged disc in the lower back and replaces it with a bone graft and specialized implant to stabilize the spine. Unlike traditional open surgery, MIS TLIF uses small incisions and muscle-sparing techniques to reduce recovery time and postoperative pain.

Benefits include:

Minimal muscle disruption
Shorter incisions and reduced scarring
Lower risk of infection or complications
Faster return to work, family life, and physical activity

It’s a smart, patient-friendly approach for Brooklynites who want strong outcomes with less downtime.

Conditions Treated with MIS TLIF

You may be a candidate for MIS TLIF if conservative care hasn’t resolved your symptoms. This procedure is commonly used to treat:

Degenerative disc disease
Herniated or collapsed discs
Spondylolisthesis (vertebra slipping out of place)
Chronic sciatica or nerve compression
Spinal instability or mechanical back pain
Mild scoliosis with structural instability

Our Brooklyn specialists will assess your condition and determine if MIS TLIF is the best path forward based on your symptoms, imaging, and health goals.

Why Choose Minimally Invasive Spine Fusion?

Compared to traditional fusion, minimally invasive TLIF offers important advantages:

Smaller incisions and less scarring
Reduced muscle damage and quicker healing
Same-day or next-day discharge in many cases
Lower risk of surgical complications
Less need for opioid-based pain management

Our team’s experience with minimally invasive techniques helps Brooklyn patients recover faster—without sacrificing surgical success.
