Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion is an up-to-date way to do spinal fusion surgery (TLIF). During this Surgery on the lower back, an intervertebral disc is taken out, and two or even more spinal bones are joined together, along with screws and a cage. The intervertebral disc is taken out of our lower backs during this Surgery.
The TLIF method is exceptional in restoring the height between the vertebrae and the correct curvature of the spine. This helps to stabilize the spine and increases its ability to fuse. It lets less nerve retraction happen during Surgery, reduces abrasions, and keeps a more boney surface for fusion. It also cuts down on operating time, blood loss, and the risk of nerve damage.
A neurological exam and a history of the problem are usually needed to figure out what’s wrong. The most important part of the assessment is the history. A CT, MRI, and other tests may be used during the procedure.
We recommend TLIF for some patients with disc prolagation that pushes on the nerve roots, lumbar canal, and lateral recess stenosis, or severe back pain. We suggest Surgery only when all other non-invasive treatment options haven’t worked.
Step 1: A back cut is made for the TLIF procedure. This lets the back of the spine be seen.
Step 2: In the vertebra, pedicle screws are put in.
Step 3: The facet joints are taken out on one side while the nerve roots are kept safe. This exposes the disc space.
Step 4: The space on the disc is read, and material from the disc is taken away.
Step 5: The patient’s iliac crest is used to get a bone graft (the hip).
Step 6: To keep the height of the disc, a spacer or interbody cage filled with bone graft is put into the space between the vertebrae.
Step 7: The side grooves of the vertebra and the disc space are filled with more bone.
Step 8: Rods or plates hold the pedicle screws in place.
Step 9: The cut has been stitched up.
Patients who have undergone TLIF spinal fusion surgery typically need to remain in the hospital for three to five days. You may need a blood transfusion. Patients receive physical therapy the day after the operation and are progressively allowed to move around. It is possible to utilize a spinal brace.
Every Surgery has some risks. Some of the dangers of TLIF are infection, too much bleeding, nerve damage, and death. Other problems are:
Most of the time, this only makes it harder to move, which isn’t a big deal.
After TLIF spinal fusion surgery, studies show that the patient’s pain goes down by 60% to 70%.
