Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion Surgery in Indore

Transformative in its approach, Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) is a specialized surgical procedure meticulously conducted by Dr. Ameya Rangnekar to address a spectrum of lumbar spinal conditions. TLIF aims to alleviate chronic back pain, restore spinal stability, and enhance overall spinal health through the fusion of vertebral segments in the lumbar region. Dr. Rangnekar’s expertise ensures precision and efficacy in achieving optimal outcomes for patients seeking relief from lumbar spine issues.

Benefits of Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion:

• Pain Alleviation: TLIF effectively addresses chronic back pain associated with degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, or spinal instability, providing long-lasting relief.
• Spinal Stability: By fusing adjacent vertebrae, TLIF restores spinal stability and alignment, reducing the risk of further degeneration and promoting better posture and movement.
• Improved Functionality: Enhanced spinal health and stability following TLIF enable patients to regain mobility and perform daily activities with greater ease and comfort.
• Prevention of Degeneration: TLIF plays a crucial role in halting the progression of degenerative spine diseases, such as spondylosis and disc degeneration, thereby preserving spinal health.
• Enhanced Quality of Life: The transformative effects of TLIF extend beyond physical relief, significantly improving patients’ quality of life and overall well-being.

Symptoms Addressed by TLIF:

• Chronic Back Pain: Persistent discomfort despite conservative treatments, impacting daily activities and quality of life.
• Nerve Compression Symptoms: Radicular pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the legs due to spinal nerve compression.
• Spinal Instability: Instability resulting from fractures, degeneration, or deformities, leading to pain and mobility issues.
• Limited Mobility: Difficulty walking, standing, or performing routine tasks due to lumbar spine dysfunction.
• Neurological Symptoms: Loss of bowel or bladder control, indicating severe spinal nerve compression requiring surgical intervention.

Procedure:

• Preoperative Evaluation: Dr. Rangnekar conducts a comprehensive assessment, including imaging studies and medical history review, to determine the suitability of TLIF for the patient’s condition.
• Surgical Techniques: Employing minimally invasive approaches whenever possible, Dr. Rangnekar performs TLIF by accessing the spine through a small incision, removing damaged disc tissue, inserting bone grafts, and stabilizing the spine using implants.
• Recovery Process: Post-surgery, patients undergo personalized rehabilitation programs, including physical therapy and gradual return to normal activities, to facilitate optimal recovery and long-term spinal health.
