Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (XLIF) is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure used to treat leg or back pain generally caused by degenerative disc disease. The procedure is performed through the patient’s side, avoiding the major muscles of the back.* This video gives a clear picture of XLIF surgery.
Although they can be fairly common, neck and back problems are never routine. Because they can be very painful and can impact your health and well- being, each condition we encounter at New York Spine Institute is handled with special, careful attention. In other words, we treat your spine problem as a unique situation, because it is. That way we can give you the most fitting care for your particular needs — care that’s founded on experience and sound medical principles.
We work in conjunction with your doctor to make sure we are providing appropriate care that suits your specific medical needs. When your doctor refers you to us for your back or neck problem, or for spine-related extremity pain, we’re always available to them for consultation about your case and to answer any questions. We also make sure that they’re always informed about your condition and treatment, and we rely on their valuable input about your medical history.
