Minimally Invasive spine surgery the surgeon makes a few small incisions unlike the open surgery where a single large incision is made. Minimally Invasive spine surgery has several important benefits for the patients. If you have been advised spine surgery your first choice should be the latest minimally invasive technique developed by our world best hospitals in India.

Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF)
In Posterior lumbar interbody fusion, the
spinal fusion is achieved through a surgical
incision made on the posterior (back) aspect
of spine. It aims at fusion of two adjacent
vertebrae in cases of spinal instability and
associated back pain. It is a popular
procedure as it gives excellent results. Major
medical journals document that the
procedure provides almost complete relief
of symptoms in 90-95% of the cases and the
patients are able to return to their daily
activities within a few weeks. The patients
can also return to most of their recreational
activities.

If abnormal and excessive motion at a
vertebral segment results in severe pain and
inability to function, a fusion is considered
in following conditions:
Degenerative disc disease
Isthmic, degenerative or postlaminectomy
spondylolisthesis.
Unstable spine (caused by infections or
tumors)
Fractures
Scoliosis
Deformity.

Why is it done ?
This procedure is generally recommended for patients, who suffer from
chronic pain and instability of spine due to conditions such as
spondylolisthesis, disc herniation, degenerative disc disease etc that have
not responded to conservative measures ( rest, physical
therapy, medications) or after procedures such as bilateral laminectomy
or discectomy. This procedure resolves the problem of spinal instability
by infusing a bone graft within the disc space between the two vertebrae
which allows new bone to grow, bridging the affected vertebrae. The
procedure ultimately aims at achieving spinal stability through bony
fusion. A fusion creates rigid and immovable column of bone in the
problem section of the spine thus preventing any painful movement. The
procedure also restores the normal intervertebral distance, thus relieving
pain, numbness, and tingling caused due to nerve compression.

Types of spinal fusion
There are two main types of Spinal fusion
procedures.
Posterolateral fusion: In this procedure the
bone graft is place between the transverse processes
in the back of the spine. These vertebrae are then
fixed with screws and/or wire for proper fixation.
Interbody fusion: In this method the bone graft
is placed between the vertebras in the area usually
occupied by the intervertebral disc.

Minimal tissue damage
Minimal blood loss
Small incisions and scars
Minimal post-operative discomfort
Relatively quick recovery time and return to
normal function.
Because of the above factors, it is one of a number
of options for spinal fusion that are relatively
minimally invasive. The XLIF is a type of
interbody fusion, which is a category of fusion in
which the disc in the front of the spine is removed
and replaced with an implant containing a bone
graft to set up the condition for the two vertebrae
to fuse together through the disc space.
