MIS TLIF at NYSI Commack: Advanced Back Surgery Made Local

Back pain shouldn't define your daily life. At New York Spine Institute in Commack, we offer Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (MIS TLIF)—a modern spinal fusion technique that relieves nerve pain, restores stability, and gets you back on your feet with less trauma and a quicker recovery.

Conveniently located in Suffolk County, our Commack office gives you access to nationally recognized spine surgeons and post-surgical rehab—all under one roof, close to home.

What Is MIS TLIF?

MIS TLIF is a cutting-edge spinal fusion surgery that treats painful lumbar conditions through a small incision in the back. Using a foramen-based route, the damaged disc is removed and replaced with a bone graft and support hardware, allowing the vertebrae to fuse over time.

Compared to traditional fusion surgery, this minimally invasive approach offers:

Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
Less blood loss and muscle disruption
Lower infection risk
Shorter hospital stays (often same-day discharge)
Faster return to daily life and work

It’s ideal for active Long Islanders who need effective relief without extended downtime.

Conditions Treated with Minimally Invasive TLIF

Our board-certified spine specialists in Commack may recommend MIS TLIF for:

Herniated or collapsed discs
Degenerative disc disease
Spondylolisthesis (slipped vertebra)
Chronic sciatica or nerve compression
Mild scoliosis or spinal deformity
Mechanical lower back pain and instability

Before recommending surgery, we explore non-invasive treatments and use MRI, CT scans, and X-rays to ensure TLIF is appropriate for your needs.
