Anterior lumbar fusion (ALIF): ALIF surgery involves accssing the spine through the front, or anterior part of the body. If a disc is removed and the intervertebral space is the focus of the surgery, this is also known as anterior lumbar interbody fusion.
Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF): Your surgeon will access the spine through the back, or posterior.

Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (XLIF): XLIF surgery accesses the spine and intervertebral discs from the side.
What is a Spinal Fusion?
A spinal fusion is a spine surgery done to join two or more vertebrae together, creating a single, solid bone structure. This is done to stabilize the spine by eliminating motion between the fused vertebrae.

Spinal fusion surgery may involve the use of bone grafts or instrumentation like screws and rods and can be performed through various surgical approaches. The exact procedure will depend on your specific condition and needs.

The first step to spinal fusion surgery is an accurate diagnosis. Consult with one of Texas’s leading spine specialists, Dr. Jamie Gottlieb, for an expert diagnosis and treatment.
