XLIF® Minimally Disruptive Procedure for Spine Surgery
The procedure, called XLIF® (eXtreme Lateral Interbody Fusion), involves a lateral, or side, approach to the patient, rather than from the back or front. This approach provides direct access to the disc space, allowing for complete disc removal and implant insertion.
An estimated 10 million adults suffer from chronic back and leg pain, which often limits their activities. It is estimated that more than one million patients undergo spine surgery each year in the U.S. Until recently, adults with back or leg pain have undergone traditional, or ‘open’, spine surgery, requiring large incisions, significant recovery time and a delay in return to normal activity.
Juan Uribe, M.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Neurosurgery, University of South Florida College of Medicine will perform the procedure using NeuroVision®, a technologically advanced EMG system. This technology allows surgeons to have accurate, reproducible, real-time feedback about nerve health and function, reducing the incidence of nerve injury during surgery. Fernando Vale, M.D., Associate Professor, University of South Florida College of Medicine, and Vice Chief of the Neurosciences Department at Tampa General Hospital will provide commentary and answer email questions from viewers during the procedure.

Minimally Invasive “Natural Opening” Spine Surgery to treat Back & Leg Pain
If you’re suffering from back pain, and the pain medications, physical therapy, and injections aren’t working, then you should consider surgery. That may be a frightening thought, however with this new and innovative approach to treating back pain, you should never fear the thought of spine surgery again!
Using the worlds most advanced minimally invasive technique, Dr. Rothstein uses his Accurascope equipped with a tiny laser and camera, and by entering the spinal canal through the natural opening of the sacral hiatus, he is able to see in live, 3D color the redness and inflammation brought on by a herniated or bulging disc, and simultaneously vaporize the obstruction with his laser, thus immediately taking that pressure off the nerves, and producing immediate relief.
