  2. Extreme Lateral Interbody Fusion Among several benefits of XLIF, a few of them are listed: • Lower blood loss— Since the process is minimally invasive, it reduces blood loss and less tissue disruption. • Reduction in the surgery time— The procedure of XLIF can be concluded in very little time, thus decreasing the time of exposure of patients during the surgery in anesthesia. • Quickly getting back to everyday life — It is observed that patients are usually able to start walking on the day of surgery completion. Even though full recovery takes a few months, it is comparatively faster than other traditional processes. • Less pain— Since the patient’s intervertebral disc space from the side is accessed by the surgeon, XLIF does not affect sensitive backbones, muscles, and ligaments.
