What Is MIS TLIF Surgery?

MIS TLIF is a spine stabilization surgery designed to treat painful lumbar conditions. Using a targeted, muscle-sparing approach, our surgeons remove a damaged disc, decompress spinal nerves, and fuse the vertebrae using a bone graft and supportive implants.

Unlike traditional open surgery, minimally invasive TLIF uses small incisions and advanced imaging tools for more precise, less traumatic results.

Why Patients Prefer MIS TLIF:

  • Small incisions and minimal tissue damage
  • Less pain after surgery and reduced scarring
  • Lower risk of complications or infection
  • Shorter hospital stays—often same-day discharge
  • Faster return to work, walking, and everyday life

It’s an ideal choice for West Orange patients seeking relief without the extended recovery of traditional surgery.

Conditions Treated with Minimally Invasive TLIF

Our spine surgeons may recommend MIS TLIF if non-surgical treatments like therapy or injections haven’t worked. Common conditions we treat include:

  • Herniated or degenerating lumbar discs
  • Spondylolisthesis (slipped vertebra)
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Sciatica or nerve root compression
  • Spinal instability from trauma or arthritis
  • Mild curvature or spinal alignment issues

We conduct a detailed evaluation and review advanced imaging to ensure this approach is appropriate for your spine and goals.

What to Expect from Your Procedure and Recovery

Before Surgery:

  • Comprehensive consultation at our West Orange office
  • Imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans
  • Pre-op planning and anesthesia clearance

The Procedure:

  • General anesthesia is used for comfort
  • A small incision is made in the lower back
  • The damaged disc is removed
  • A bone graft or cage is inserted to create space and encourage fusion
  • Screws and rods secure the vertebrae for stability

Recovery Timeline:

  • Walking typically begins within 24 hours
  • Discharge is often same day or next morning
  • Light activity resumes within 1–2 weeks
  • Physical therapy starts early to support strength and mobility
  • Follow-up visits help monitor your fusion progress
