View a live surgery presentation of the AxiaLIF® system, the least invasive solution to lumbar fusion
Back Pain: Forty to 60 percent of adults suffer from chronic back pain in the U.S. every year, and more than 1 million spine surgery procedures are performed annually. Medical costs to treat back pain approach $24 billion per year. Using AxiaLIF(R), the lumbar spine is accessed through a small incision adjacent to the sacral bone. This atraumatic tissue plane alleviates the need for the surgeon to cut through soft tissue, muscles and ligaments, lessening patient pain and the likelihood of complications. This minimally invasive approach may shorten length of hospital stays and reduce patient recovery time. The AxiaLIF(R) system, a less invasive approach to lumbar fusion developed by TranS1(R) , will be broadcast on OR-Live.com today at 3pm. Isador Lieberman , M.D., Director of the Minimally Invasive Surgery Center at Cleveland Clinic and Director of the Cleveland Clinic Spine Institute, will perform the procedure.
