Spinal implant system and method

A surgical instrument:

• an anchor extending between a proximal end and a distal end configured for fixation with tissue;
• a dilator defining a longitudinal passageway and being connected with a navigation component such that the distal end is disposable with the passageway at a selected distance from the navigation component, the navigation component being positioned relative to a sensor to communicate a signal representative of an orientation of the anchor;
• and
• a drill guide being mountable with the anchor along the orientation such that a distal end of the drill guide is engageable with the tissue.
