The fellowshiptrained neurosurgeons at Swift Institute are experienced in Extreme Lateral Interbody Fusion (XLIF®). This minimally invasive spine surgery is typically used to treat leg or back pain caused by degenerative disc disease.

Using the minimally invasive XLIF® procedure, instead of traditional spine surgery, the surgeon avoids cutting into major muscles by making the incision in the patient’s side — which can mean less postoperative pain. This procedure is generally performed in an outpatient setting or 23 hour stay.

Swift Institute includes offices in Reno, Sparks and Carson City. Swift Institute Spine Neurosurgery wants you to be wellinformed about the causes of your back and neck pain.
