Description
- Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (LLIF) is a surgical procedure that involves accessing the spine from the side to remove damaged discs and fuse vertebrae. This technique aims to stabilize the spine and alleviate pain caused by conditions like degenerative disc disease.
Need for Medical Attention
- Individuals with severe lower back pain, instability, or nerve compression due to degenerative spinal conditions may require LLIF. It is considered when conservative treatments have not provided sufficient relief.
FAQ
- How long does it take to recover from LLIF?
Recovery times vary, but patients typically resume normal activities gradually over several weeks to months.
- What are the potential risks of LLIF?
Risks include infection, nerve injury, or complications related to the fusion process. These should be discussed with the surgeon beforehand.
