Acibadem University Hospital Atakent provides specialized ALIF - Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion with an emphasis on precise disc removal, restoration of lumbar alignment, and stable spinal fusion. Established in 2014, the JCI accredited hospital is based in Istanbul, Turkey and has 278 beds supported by modern neurosurgical and orthopedic facilities.

ALIF (Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion) is a technique in which a damaged lumbar disc is removed through an anterior abdominal approach and replaced with an interbody device. The implant helps restore the height and alignment of the affected spinal segment, while bone graft promotes the formation of a solid fusion between the vertebrae. In some cases, additional posterior fixation may be performed to provide stability. Detailed X-rays, CT, or MRI scans are used to evaluate the spine and plan treatment.
