We feature a recording of a live webcast of one of the latest spinal fusion surgery techniques. Surgeons at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Jersey perform an innovative spinal fusion to eliminate the debilitating discomfort for back pain suffers. The procedure is known as transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion or TLIF. Most patients are out of bed and walking the day after the surgery, typically spending only two days in the hospital. Some patients return to work as early as two weeks following the procedure.
