Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion helps relieve low back pain or leg pain caused by degenerative disc disease.
The mini-open ALIF is performed with the patient lying on their back, usually under general anesthesia. Fluoroscopy helps guide the surgeon during the procedure. The incision is made in the lower abdomen and is usually less than 2 inches in length.
The neurosurgeons at Swift Institute specialize in minimally invasive spine surgery which results in less disruption to muscles and tissue, less blood loss, quicker recovery, and quicker return to an active lifestyle.
