Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion helps relieve low back pain or leg pain caused by degenerative disc disease.
An advantage of the ALIF procedure over a more extensive posterior approach is that the incision is made in the abdomen instead of the back. This allows the back muscles and nerves to remain undisturbed. This procedure is generally performed in an outpatient setting or 23 hour stay. Patients are usually able to return to an active lifestyle without restrictions quicker than with traditional spine surgery.
