Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) has transformed how spine conditions are treated, offering patients a safer, quicker, and more precise alternative to traditional open surgeries. Among the most advanced techniques are Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF), Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF), and Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion (OLIF), each designed to stabilise the spine while reducing pain and nerve compression.
These techniques involve small incisions and specialised instruments that allow surgeons to remove damaged discs and insert bone grafts or implants through narrow access points. With the use of intraoperative navigation, fluoroscopy, and microscope assistance, accuracy is maximised, and the surrounding soft tissues are preserved.
Key benefits of minimally invasive spine fusion techniques:
Reduced blood loss and post-surgery discomfort
Less muscle retraction and scarring
Shorter hospital stays and faster mobility restoration
Lower risk of infection or complications
Each approach (PLIF, TLIF, OLIF) is selected based on the patient’s spinal anatomy and the condition’s location. These surgeries are particularly beneficial for degenerative disc disease, spinal instability, spondylolisthesis, and recurrent disc herniation.
Post-op recovery emphasises gentle exercises, mobility aids, and regular follow-ups. At our top spine hospital in Kanakapura Road, the entire journey is personalised, respecting each patient’s comfort and pace.
