Extreme Lateral Interbody Fusion (XLIF®) 
The minimally invasive Extreme Lateral Interbody Fusion (XLIF®) avoids the necessity of moving organs and major blood vessels. Recovery for a patient is quicker, typically lasting one to two days, and post-surgical pain is significantly reduced.
The XLIF procedure can be utilized for varying types of spinal problems including diseases such as:
The surgery includes the use of a small incision in the side of the waist. Special tubular retractors are used to enter the back area and expose the disc, which is removed. A spacer (made of polyethylene) is then inserted into the disc space. With the use of fluoroscopy, the surgeon is able to monitor the correct position and placement of the spacer. Following the surgery, recovery can be quickly made, with a hospital stay of one or two days.
