ILIF™ (Interlaminar Lumbar Instrumented Fusion):    Southern California Center for Neuroscience and Spine at the Chapman Medical Center

Innovative Treatment for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

Patients suffering from painful lumbar spinal stenosis have in the past been required to have painful and invasive surgery that could limit movement and require lengthy hospital stays.  Thanks to new technology developed by NuVasive, Inc., ILIF™ (Interlaminar Lumbar Instrumented Fusion) has been created as a much quicker and less invasive method of treating this disease.

With minimally invasive technology, ILIF can be used to perform a laminotomy, a procedure that decompresses the affected area.  A temporary opening of the space between the boney ridges that compose the spine is created to relieve pressure on the nerves and the spinal cord.  A donor bone is then placed between these bony ridges in order to create a permanent opening in the areas that were pressing on the nerves or the spinal cord.  It also promotes long term spine stabilization as the bones will fuse together.

The benefits of ILIF surgery include such things as it taking only approximately 45 minutes for the procedure, prevents further destabilizing of the spine, uses a cutting edge design spacer to promote decompression of the area and requires no screws for the procedure.

No longer will patients be required to remain in the hospital for lengthy stays or suffer the agonizing pain from large incisions and muscle and nerve movement during the surgery.  Recovery can be quick and our patients can get on with their lives in short order.
