Canadian Specialist Hospital provides specialized TLIF with a focus on spinal stabilization, nerve decompression when required, and individualized surgical care. Established in 2006, the JCI accredited hospital is located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and operates 200 beds with modern spine-care infrastructure.

TLIF (Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion) is a lumbar spine procedure that combines disc removal, interbody fusion, and spinal fixation. It can be used for selected patients with conditions that cause instability or significant symptoms, particularly when conservative treatment has not provided adequate relief. The surgeon approaches the affected disc through the back and one side of the spine, removes the damaged disc, and places an interbody implant with bone graft material. Pedicle screws and connecting rods may be used to stabilize the treated levels while the bone fusion develops. Pre-operative imaging and neurological assessment help determine the appropriate surgical plan.
