What Is TLIF Surgery?

TLIF is a specialized spinal fusion procedure that relieves pressure on nerves while stabilizing the lower spine. During the operation, our board-certified spine surgeons:

Remove the damaged or herniated lumbar disc
Insert a bone graft or interbody cage between vertebrae
Stabilize the area with screws and rods
Encourage bone fusion for lasting spinal support

Whenever possible, our Wayne-based team performs TLIF using minimally invasive approaches—reducing trauma to surrounding muscles and soft tissue for a quicker recovery.
