What Is TLIF Surgery?

TLIF is a form of spinal fusion performed on the lower back (lumbar spine). The procedure involves removing a damaged or herniated disc and placing a bone graft or interbody cage between two vertebrae. Over time, this promotes the growth of new bone, permanently stabilizing the segment and relieving nerve compression.

At NYSI White Plains, we often perform TLIF using minimally invasive techniques—which means smaller incisions, less muscle disruption, and a faster recovery for our patients.

Conditions Treated with TLIF

Our spine surgeons may recommend TLIF when nonsurgical options like injections or physical therapy are no longer effective. Common conditions include:

  • Herniated discs causing leg pain or sciatica
  • Degenerative disc disease from age-related spine changes
  • Spondylolisthesis, or vertebral slippage
  • Spinal fractures due to trauma or osteoporosis
  • Mild scoliosis or structural instability in the lumbar spine

Each diagnosis is confirmed with advanced imaging and a thorough physical evaluation to determine if TLIF is the right approach.
