The Spinal Fusion Surgery Procedure
Spinal fusion surgery involves permanently connecting two or more vertebrae to stabilize the spine and relieve pain. At Emirates Hospitals Group, surgeons use modern fixation devices such as rods, screws, and bone grafts to promote healing and spinal stability. Whenever possible, minimally invasive techniques are used to reduce tissue damage, blood loss, and recovery time.
Advanced Surgical Techniques
Our spine specialists employ minimally invasive spinal fusion, anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF), posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF), and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF). With the aid of computer-assisted navigation and intraoperative neuromonitoring, these techniques ensure optimal alignment, nerve protection, and improved long-term results.

- Persistent back or neck pain despite conservative treatments
