Advanced MIS TLIF at NYSI Queens: Smarter Spine Fusion for Kew Gardens

Back pain shouldn't hold you back—especially in a borough that never slows down. At New York Spine Institute in Kew Gardens, we provide Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (MIS TLIF) for patients dealing with chronic lower back pain, sciatica, or spinal instability.

Our board-certified spine surgeons in Queens deliver expert, compassionate care using the latest in minimally invasive techniques—helping you return to work, movement, and life with strength and confidence.

What Is Minimally Invasive TLIF?

MIS TLIF is a modern spinal fusion procedure that stabilizes the lower spine while minimizing damage to nearby muscles and soft tissues. Through a small incision in the lower back, your surgeon removes the damaged disc and inserts a bone graft or spacer between the vertebrae. This relieves pressure on nearby nerves while restoring spinal stability.

Compared to traditional open surgery, this technique results in:

Less post-operative pain and scarring
Shorter hospital stays—often same-day discharge
Quicker return to walking, working, and daily activity
Reduced risk of complications and infections

It’s an ideal option for active Queens residents who need relief—without a long, painful recovery.

Conditions We Treat with MIS TLIF

NYSI Queens may recommend this approach for conditions such as:

Degenerative disc disease
Herniated or collapsed discs causing nerve pain
Spondylolisthesis (vertebral slippage)
Spinal instability or structural imbalance
Chronic radiculopathy or sciatica
Mild scoliosis affecting lower spine function

We always begin with conservative treatments like therapy and injections. If surgery becomes the next step, MIS TLIF offers the most efficient and least disruptive option.
