OLIF: Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion

OLIF: Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion – A Modern Approach to Spinal Stability

Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion (OLIF) is an advanced, minimally invasive surgical technique designed to treat lower back pain caused by degenerative disc disease, spinal instability, or spondylolisthesis. Unlike traditional spinal fusion methods, OLIF uses an oblique (angled) approach to access the spine, reducing muscle disruption and promoting a faster recovery. This procedure stabilizes the spine by removing the damaged disc and inserting an interbody spacer with bone graft material to promote fusion.

Advantages of OLIF

• Minimally Invasive – Less muscle and tissue disruption for reduced postoperative pain.
• Effective Pain Relief – Relieves nerve compression and stabilizes the spine.
• Faster Recovery – Shorter hospital stay and quicker return to daily activities.
• Improved Spinal Alignment – Restores proper disc height and spinal balance.
• Lower Risk of Complications – Reduced blood loss and minimized risk of nerve damage
