Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) is a surgical procedure primarily used to treat spinal instability, severe degenerative disc disease, or spondylolisthesis. Indications for TLIF include chronic back pain, nerve compression, and spinal deformities. The procedure involves removing the damaged disc and inserting an interbody cage filled with bone graft between the vertebrae to facilitate fusion. It is performed through a minimally invasive approach to reduce recovery time and surgical risks. Precautions post-surgery include avoiding heavy lifting, bending, and twisting, while following a structured rehabilitation program to ensure optimal recovery.
