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.
