A procedure designed to stabilize the spine and reduce pain when movement between vertebrae causes discomfort.
It is a procedure that stabilizes the spine by removing a damaged disc and joining two vertebrae together using an implant (cage) and screws.

This helps reduce abnormal movement in the spine, which can be a source of pain. In many cases, minimally invasive techniques are used to limit tissue disruption and support recovery when appropriate.
Initial evaluation
Your specialist reviews imaging studies (such as MRI or CT scans) to confirm spinal instability or structural damage and determine whether fusion is appropriate.
Before surgery
A pre-operative evaluation ensures you are medically prepared for the procedure. This may include lab work, imaging review, and medication adjustments if needed.
During Surgery
The damaged disc is removed, and an implant (interbody cage) is placed between the vertebrae. Screws are then inserted to stabilize the spine while the bones gradually fuse together.
Recovery
Hospital stay varies depending on the case. Physical therapy and structured follow-up care are typically part of recovery, helping you regain strength and mobility over time.
Summary
Lumbar fusion provides stability to the spine in cases where decompression alone is not sufficient, helping reduce pain and improve function.
