(Low Back)

2. Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion
(ALIF)
• Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) is a spine
surgery that involves approaching the spine from
the front of the body to remove disc or bone
material from in between two adjacent lumbar
vertebrae. The procedure may be performed
either as an open surgery or using minimally
invasive techniques.

3. How Is An ALIF Performed?

4. Lumbar Laminectomy
• A lumbar laminectomy is a spine surgery that
involves removing bone to relieve excess
pressure on the spinal nerve(s) in the lumbar
spine, or lower back. A lumbar laminectomy can
be performed to relieve symptoms such as back
pain and radiating leg pain.

6. Lumbar Microdiscectomy
• Pain in the lower back (lumbar spine) and legs, among other
symptoms, may occur when an intervertebral disc herniates when the annulus fibrosus (tough, outer ring) of the disc tears
and the nucleus pulposus (soft, jelly-like center) squeezes out,
and places pressure on, or "pinches," an adjacent nerve root.
• Lumbar microdiscectomy is an operation that involves using a
surgical microscope and microsurgical techniques to access
and treat the lumbar spine. By providing magnification and
illumination, the microscope allows for a limited dissection.
Only that portion of the herniated disc, which is pinching one
or more nerve roots, is removed. The term discectomy is
derived from the Latin words discus (flat, circular object or
plate) and -ectomy (removal).

7. Spinal Fusion Surgery
• Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that involves
placing bone graft material between adjacent
vertebrae to promote bone growth that joins
together, or "fuses," the two structures. In
patients for whom it's appropriate, the procedure
may be performed using minimally invasive
surgical techniques.

8. Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody
Fusion (TLIF)
• A transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is
a type of spine surgery that involves approaching
the spine from the back, or posterior, of the body
to place bone graft between two vertebrae. The
procedure may be performed using minimally
invasive surgical techniques.

9. What are Vertebral Compression
Fractures?
• Vertebral compression fractures, or VCF's, occur
when bones in the spine are broken. They can
occur from trauma, such as a car accident or fall,
but are most commonly the result of osteoporosis
which causes weakened bones. VCF's can also
occur from other conditions that cause weakened
bones, such as certain cancers or long term
steroid use.

10. Recovery
• As you prepare yourself mentally to undergo
spinal surgery, you also need to prepare yourself
for the recovery period that will follow your
operation. While the surgery entails work on the
part of the surgeon, after that, the brunt of the
work is in your hands. To ensure a smooth and
healthy recovery, it is important that, as a patient,
you closely follow the set of instructions that your
surgical team gives you.
