Table of Contents
Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) is a spine surgery that aims to cure pain and other symptoms caused by problems in the low back. This ALIF Spine Surgery involves approaching the spine from the front (anterior) of the body to remove a herniated disc from between two adjacent vertebrae in the lower back (lumbar spine), followed by fusion of the vertebrae. Dr. Amit Chugh is one of the most renowned doctors for ALIF spine surgery in Delhi.
Why is ALIF surgery performed?
An ALIF surgery in Delhi aims to treat disc problems in the lower back and stabilize the spine. ALIF spine surgery in Delhi is performed to cure the following spinal conditions:
Degenerative disc disease
Degenerative disc diseases refer to the age-related wear and tear of the spine. In this condition, the soft vertebral discs degrade and shrink, which reduces the vertebral gap and causes spinal nerve pinching.
Scoliosis
Scoliosis or flatback syndrome is the abnormal curvature of the spine. It is prevalent among kids and adolescents and noticeable only after the significant progression of the disorder.
Spondylolisthesis
Spondylolisthesis is a spinal condition that arises when one vertebra slips out of place onto the vertebra below. It leads to severe lower back pain.
Spondylosis
Spondylosis is a disorder that tends to make the spinal structure hard, brittle, and porous, due to which the spinal discs and joints degenerate, causing bone spurs.
What are the advantages of ALIF surgery in Delhi?
Given below are the primary advantages of an ALIF spine surgery in Delhi:
- It allows the surgeon to use a large antibiotic-loaded cement spacer to restore major spine damages with better stability and support during recovery.
