TLIF: Surgical Option For Severe Back Pain
December 13,2020
 Spinal surgery: Medical professionals and consumers worldwide may watch as expert spinal surgeon Vivek P. Kushwaha, M.D., demonstrates an innovative, effective surgical procedure to treat severe, chronic back pain during a live, global webcast at 5:30 p.m.on www.OR-Live.com Central Standard Time (23:30 UTC) on Monday, Dec. 13. The surgery, which will be performed at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, Texas, is a transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF), an effective option that can be safer than more traditional spinal surgeries. |
"We have performed more than 200 TLIF procedures to treat
spondylolisthesis and degenerative disc disease, and to correct failed
back surgery," Dr. Kushwaha said. "Because of the high fusion rates and
good clinical outcomes from these patients, we have found the TLIF
procedure to be the most effective technique in managing these complex
spinal problems." Sixty to 90 percent of the population will experience
lower back pain. TLIF enjoys a high success rate because it supports
and generates bone growth on both sides of the spine. The Webcast
program is second in a series sponsored by Memorial Hermann Healthcare
System and affords medical professionals and consumers the opportunity
to view cutting-edge surgical procedures live on the Internet from
anywhere in the world. Visit www.OR-Live.com now to view a program preview.
