At Casa di Cura La Madonnina, TLIF is performed using advanced spinal implants, surgical navigation, and personalized treatment planning. Established in 1958, this SSN accredited hospital in milan, Italy has 560 beds and offers comprehensive orthopedic and neurosurgical services.

TLIF may be recommended for selected patients with lumbar spinal instability, persistent pain, or nerve compression associated with structural spinal disorders. Through a posterior approach, the surgeon accesses the affected disc space from one side, removes the damaged disc material, and inserts an implant containing bone graft material. The procedure can also allow the surgeon to decompress affected nerve roots when necessary. Instrumentation such as pedicle screws and rods helps maintain spinal alignment during the fusion process.
