What Is Minimally Invasive TLIF Surgery?

MIS TLIF is a cutting-edge spinal procedure designed to relieve pressure on compressed nerves and stabilize the spine. Using a small incision and a lateral pathway to the disc space, our surgeons remove the damaged disc, insert a bone graft or interbody cage, and secure the spine with titanium hardware.

Why Choose a Minimally Invasive Approach?

  • Smaller incision, minimal muscle disruption
  • Less blood loss and reduced infection risk
  • Shorter hospital stay—often outpatient
  • Faster recovery with fewer complications
  • Excellent results for patients with lumbar spine instabilityz

Conditions We Treat with MIS TLIF in Wayne

Our board-certified specialists recommend MIS TLIF to address a range of spinal issues that haven’t responded to conservative care, such as:

  • Herniated or collapsed lumbar discs
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Spondylolisthesis (slipped vertebra)
  • Chronic sciatica or nerve root compression
  • Lower back instability
  • Mild spinal deformities

Your treatment plan begins with advanced imaging and a thorough physical evaluation to ensure surgery is the right next step for you.
