Trusted Lumbar Fusion at NYSI Brooklyn

If you’re living with persistent lower back pain, radiating leg symptoms, or spinal instability that hasn’t responded to physical therapy or injections, Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) may be the answer. At New York Spine Institute in Brooklyn, our board-certified spine surgeons offer this advanced, minimally invasive procedure to relieve nerve compression, stabilize the spine, and help you reclaim your quality of life.

Conveniently located at 313 43rd Street, our Sunset Park office provides expert surgical consultation and care coordination for patients across Brooklyn—from Bay Ridge to Borough Park and beyond.

What Is TLIF Surgery?

TLIF is a type of lumbar spinal fusion. During the procedure, a damaged or herniated disc is removed and replaced with a bone graft or interbody cage between two vertebrae. This promotes natural bone growth and fuses the spine, relieving pressure on nerves and stabilizing the lower back.

At NYSI Brooklyn, we coordinate with our network of surgical centers to provide minimally invasive TLIF, using small incisions and advanced techniques to minimize recovery time.

Conditions Treated with TLIF

Our Brooklyn spine specialists may recommend TLIF if non-surgical treatments haven’t brought relief. This procedure is commonly used to treat:

Herniated discs with leg pain or sciatica
Degenerative disc disease from spinal wear and tear
Spondylolisthesis, where one vertebra slips forward
Spinal instability or mild scoliosis
Fractures related to trauma or osteoporosis

Each case is evaluated with careful imaging and clinical assessment to confirm the diagnosis and determine the best path forward.

Benefits of Minimally Invasive TLIF

Our TLIF procedures are performed with a minimally invasive approach whenever appropriate, offering patients a smoother and faster recovery.

Key Advantages:

Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
Less muscle disruption and postoperative pain
Lower risk of complications or infection
Quicker return to daily activity and work
Shorter hospital stays—many go home the same or next day

For active Brooklyn residents and working professionals, these benefits can make all the difference in getting back to life quickly.
