XLIF eXtreme Lateral Interbody Fusion is a minimally invasive surgical procedure where the spine is approached from the side of the body to replace damaged disc material with an implant between two vertebrae in an effort to cause the surrounding bone to fuse together.

  • they call it "extreme" surgery. its not the fukin x games. i dont want to hear the word extreme before you cut a hole in me

  • "Less Invasive" is a euphamism for "I can bill at the same rate working half as long." And yes, having had both posterior & XLIF fusions, recovery from this procedure hurts like hell (double that of posterior approach) for at least one month, even with considerable pain management, as the access channel is larger than a .45 caliber bullet.
