ALIF anyone?

Hi! Has anyone had or going to have the ALIF? I read mostly about the PLIF or TLIF. Anyway, I'll be having the ALIF March 27th. I'm kind of nervous about the doctor going in through my abdomen.

Re: ALIF anyone?

Hi...and I haven't had that, getting ready to have tlif on the ninth. But from what I read about it, when they go in through the abdomen its suppose to be easier to recover from..that's what I read somewhere, don't hold me to it. I am sure that someone her has had that one. I read alot online at spine health and find out all I can. I wish you the best of luck, and we know what you mean about nerves.

What is all the TLF/ ATLF/ ALIF ? I had a L4-L5 fusion with hardware screws/rods /cages and also had a laminectomy at the same time. The cut me from the back ,my scar is around 10" . What did I have ?

Sorry to be so dumb ,but these words are anal to me ?
