Abstract
An supine anterior-to-psoas approach includes a patient being rotated for the initial approach. Further, various blades and retractor rings provide various features to allow for the supine ATP approach or a conventional ATP to be performed.
Claims21
A method for surgically approaching the spine of a patient for spinal surgery, comprising:
- positioning the patient on an operating table in supine position in an approximately horizontal orientation;
- rotating the patient about a superior-inferior axis of the patient, so that the patient's left side is higher than the patient's right side;
- performing an anterior-to-psoas (ATP) surgical approach to the spine;
- placing one or more retractors to create a surgical corridor to the spine;
- affixing the one or more retractors to a retractor frame;
- rotating the patient back to the approximately horizontal position;
- performing a surgical procedure though the surgical corridor;
- and
- configuring the retractor frame which is a supine ATP ring with a first hinge arranged at a cranial position and a second hinge arranged at a caudal position wherein the hinges are angled at approximately 20 degrees to 30 degrees.
