Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) is a surgical technique that involves removing an intervertebral disc and creating a spinal fusion in the lumbar spine through one incision in the back. It is similar to the posterior approach (PLIF) except that the disc removal is performed from the side. In some cases only one side of the disc needs to be exposed (right or left) in order to perform the procedure.
