The DLIF spinal fusion procedure uses the anterior approach and requires a one-inch incision in the lower abdomen, which avoids damaging major vessels. This procedure involves less blood loss, less risk of complication and shorter recovery time, according to the report.
Dr. Parker and Dr. Seymour are the first to perform DLIF spinal fusion in northern Alabama.
