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.
