CEREBRO XLIF interbody fusion cage system is designed in a way to be implanted through a minimally invasive procedure from posterior lateral.
The parts forming the system is manufactured from a Titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V – ELI) compliant with interbody application and from PEEK material which is a thermoplastic solution and which causes no artifact and compatible with MRI for in-vivo applications.
CEREBRO XLIF Cage system is placed in a straight way by using an inserter and than once inside, it is ensured that it is placed on the extent by gathering it under a square form on disk cavity in order to fit it completely to the circular area of the corpus through expansion. With its graft hollow structure it provides a total fusion.
CEREBRO XLIF Cage system has a range dimension scale in accordance with its purpose and area of use and it is designed in a way to be applied from the right or left hand side posterior laterally or extralaterally.
About LLIF
The Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (LLIF) procedure is a minimally disruptive surgical technique in which the surgeon approaches the spine from the side of the patient’s body, rather than the front or back as in traditional spine surgeries. This side (lateral transpsoas) approach can reduce the risk of injury to muscles, nerves, and blood vessels.
The XLIF and DLIF are types Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion, or LLIF, which is a category of fusion in which the disc in the front of the spine is removed and replaced with an implant containing a bone graft to set up the condition for the two vertebrae to fuse together through the disc space.
XLIF uses a minimally invasive, transpsoas approach to the spine. The surgeon uses his or her finger to perform blunt dissection through a posterior paraspinal incision to escort dilators and a guide wire into position directly over the psoas muscle. Using his or her finger the surgeon is able to create a retroperitoneal space and protect the viscera and prevent possible injury.
With the DLIF technique, some surgeons have chosen to perform this procedure through a single miniopen lateral approach without the use of the posterior incision to create the retroperitoneal space. With the single incision, the layers of the abdominal wall are directly visualized, and the retroperitoneal space is created under direct vision with passage of instruments through the psoas. In addition, the use of electrophysiological monitoring, including triggered and freerunning electromyography (EMG), reduces the likelihood of injury to the lumbosacral plexus when accessing the disc space through the psoas muscle. Dilators, which contain insulated tips allow for EMG monitoring as they are introduced via the transpsoas approach to the disc space. If a dilator passes in proximity to the lumbosacral plexus, the surgeon is warned both visibly on a graphic display and also via auditory feedback. The surgeon can then adjust his or her trajectory to reduce the likelihood of neural injury.
