At Asan Medical Centre, Thoracic Interbody Fusion is performed using advanced spinal reconstruction techniques and individualized surgical planning. Established in 1989, the ISO accredited hospital in Seoul, South Korea has 2700 beds and provides comprehensive spine surgery and rehabilitation services.

Thoracic Interbody Fusion may be recommended when disease or injury affecting the thoracic discs causes persistent pain, instability, deformity, or neurological compression. During surgery, the surgeon accesses the affected disc space, removes the damaged disc material, and places an interbody cage or suitable implant between the vertebrae. Bone graft or a graft substitute is used to promote fusion. Depending on the patient's condition, posterior instrumentation with screws and rods may also be performed to maintain alignment during healing.
