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.
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).
Minimally invasive lumbar fusion is a range of surgical techniques and technology. This allows doctors to perform spinal fusion surgery with smaller incisions resulting in much faster recovery times.
