What Is TLIF Surgery?

TLIF is a type of lumbar spinal fusion designed to treat degenerative or structural conditions in the lower back. By removing a damaged disc and fusing the surrounding vertebrae, this procedure helps reduce nerve irritation and restore spinal stability.

During Surgery, Our Team Will:

Remove the herniated or collapsed disc
Insert a bone graft or implant between the vertebrae
Place screws and rods to support the fusion
Encourage natural bone growth for long-term support

At NYSI West Orange, we utilize minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to minimize trauma and speed up healing.

Conditions We Treat with TLIF

You may be a candidate for TLIF surgery if conservative treatments haven’t resolved your symptoms. We commonly treat:

Lumbar disc herniation or degeneration
Chronic lower back pain not responding to therapy
Spondylolisthesis, or vertebral slippage
Spinal instability after injury or arthritis
Mild scoliosis with lower back deformity

Our team will perform a full clinical evaluation and collaborate with local imaging providers to confirm your diagnosis and develop a personalized plan.

Lower risk of complications and infections
Shorter hospital stays—many patients go home the same day
