At Medical Park Goztepe Hospital, ALIF - Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion is performed using advanced spinal fusion techniques and individualized surgical planning. Established in 2005, the JCI accredited hospital in Istanbul, Turkey has 293 beds and provides comprehensive spine surgery and rehabilitation services.

ALIF (Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion) involves removing a damaged lumbar disc through an anterior approach and placing a spacer or cage between the affected vertebrae. Bone graft material is typically used to encourage the vertebrae to fuse over time. By restoring disc height and spinal alignment, ALIF may also help increase the space available for affected nerve roots. Preoperative imaging helps determine the appropriate spinal level and surgical approach.
