About the clinic
Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) at Memorial Göztepe Hospital in Istanbul is a specialized spinal surgery for stabilizing the lower back. The clinic holds JCI accreditation and uses advanced systems like O-Arm intraoperative imaging to improve surgical precision. This approach helps patients needing spinal fusion for conditions like degenerative disc disease or spondylolisthesis.
Advanced Imaging and Safety Systems
The neurosurgery department at Memorial Göztepe Hospital uses a hybrid operating room. This space combines traditional surgery with real-time interventional imaging. Surgeons use the O-Arm system to get 3D images during the operation. This helps them place screws with higher accuracy by providing live updates on the spine's position.
To keep the patient safe, the team uses intraoperative neuromonitoring. This technology tracks nerve signals while the surgeon works. It helps protect nerve function throughout the procedure. The hospital also uses a neuronavigation system to guide instruments through small incisions. These tools support minimally invasive methods, which can lead to a faster recovery compared to open surgery.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Treatment begins at the Brain, Nerve, and Spinal Cord Surgery center. You will meet with specialists for a consultation and imaging tests. The TLIF procedure itself involves removing a damaged disc and inserting a spacer to fuse the vertebrae. The hospital’s specialized setup is built to handle both standard and complex spinal cases.
- O-Arm imaging provides real-time 3D views of the spine during the surgery.
- Neuromonitoring tracks electrical signals to prevent nerve damage.
- Neuronavigation acts like a GPS for the surgeon's tools inside the back.
- Hybrid operating rooms allow for combined surgical and interventional techniques.
