MIS-TLIF (Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion)

Traditionally, TLIF has been coined as an “open” technique, which requires making a larger incision over back and has more blood loss, tissue destruction, muscles strapping. MIS-TLIF is a minimally invasive spine fusion surgery. The surgeon locates the diseased vertebral level with the help of a portable radiograph (image intensifier machine) and correlates with preoperative radiological and clinical examination. Very minimum skin incision as much possible at the desired level.

Why?  MIS-TLIF

Because it has certain advantages like advanced technology, minimum skin incision,  less tissue damage, less blood loss,  less morbidity, less hospital stay, and early return to duty.
