Description

Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) is a specialized spine surgery performed through the front (anterior) approach of the abdomen to access the lumbar spine. This technique allows the surgeon to remove the damaged disc and place an implant or cage to restore disc height and spinal alignment. ALIF provides direct access to the disc space without disturbing the back muscles, which can improve surgical accuracy and spinal stability.
