Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF)
- Surgeon accesses the spine from the back (posterior) and removes the intervertebral disc.

Symptoms of Spinal Conditions
-
Back Pain: Persistent or severe pain in the back, often worsened by movement or prolonged sitting/standing.
-
Radiating Pain: Pain that radiates from the back to the legs or arms, known as radiculopathy or sciatica.
-
Numbness or Weakness: Loss of sensation or muscle weakness in the legs or arms, indicating nerve compression.
-
Limited Mobility: Difficulty bending, twisting, or performing daily activities due to spine-related restrictions.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis involves a comprehensive evaluation, including medical history, physical examination, imaging studies (X-rays, MRI, CT scans), and sometimes additional tests such as electromyography (EMG) or nerve conduction studies (NCS) to assess nerve function.
Preparing for Surgery
Preoperative preparation may include:
- Medical evaluation to assess overall health and readiness for surgery.
- Discussion of the procedure, risks, benefits, and alternatives with the surgeon.
- Preoperative tests such as blood work, ECG, or pulmonary function tests if necessary.
- Instructions for preoperative fasting and medication management.
Technology and Facilities
Advanced technologies such as intraoperative navigation, spinal instrumentation, and minimally invasive techniques may be utilised to enhance surgical precision and outcomes.
Recovery
Recovery after spinal fusion surgery involves:
- Hospitalisation for a few days to monitor postoperative recovery and manage pain.
- Gradual resumption of activities under the guidance of a physical therapist.
- Follow-up appointments with the surgeon to monitor healing and address any concerns.
- Postoperative rehabilitation and exercise programs to optimise spinal strength and flexibility.

Commonly Asked Questions
How long does spinal fusion surgery take?
The duration of surgery varies depending on the complexity of the procedure, typically ranging from 2 to 6 hours.
What are the risks associated with spinal fusion surgery?
Risks include infection, bleeding, nerve injury, blood clots, and failure of fusion (pseudoarthrosis).
Will I need to wear a brace after spinal fusion surgery?
Depending on the surgical approach and spinal stability, a brace may be recommended for a period of time to support the spine during healing.
How soon can I return to work or normal activities after spinal fusion surgery?
Recovery times vary, but most patients can resume light activities within a few weeks and gradually increase activity levels over several months.
Will spinal fusion surgery completely eliminate my back pain?
While spinal fusion aims to alleviate pain and stabilise the spine, individual outcomes may vary, and some residual discomfort may persist, particularly in cases of severe degeneration or nerve compression.
