Spinal stenosis is a common condition that affects many individuals, particularly as they age. This occurs when the spaces within the spine narrow, leading to increased pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
A procedure that has revolutionized spine surgery and positively impacted the lives of many is Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF).
PLIF surgery, or posterior lumbar interbody fusion, is a surgical procedure in which the spinal surgeon repairs the lower (lumbar) spine from the back (posterior) of the patient’s body.
Understanding the cause and symptoms of a herniated lumbar disc can help to determine the best treatment option for your condition.
Lumbar laminectomy is a common surgical procedure performed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves in the lower back. This type of spine surgery is used to treat a condition known as lumbar spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal cord).
