Spinal fusion is a surgery procedure that reinforces your back structure and stability by linking two vertebrae together. The vertebrae support each other, with the goal of reducing pain and easing symptoms related to your spinal cord and nerves.
With transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion, your surgeon approaches your spine through your back. Your surgeon then places a graft of some sort (like bone) in the space between your vertebrae. For minimally invasive spinal fusion, you’ll be given medicine (general anesthesia) to put you asleep.
Lumbar spinal fusion stops the motion at a painful vertebral segment in the low back. The surgery helps improve spinal stability, correct anatomical deformities, and relieve nerve compression.
Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that links bones in the spinal column together to treat back problems such as herniated disks, fractures, or scoliosis. During the surgery, vertebrae are fused together to heal into a single solid bone, eliminating movement between them and relieving pain.
