Spinal implant system and method

A method for treating a spine, the method comprising the steps of:

• disposing a body including vertebrae in a lateral orientation relative to a surgical fixed surface configured for supporting the body;
• percutaneously delivering a first fastener along a pedicle trajectory disposed in alignment with a first vertebral level of the vertebrae;
• fastening the first fastener with the first vertebral level adjacent a lateral portion of the vertebrae;
• percutaneously delivering a first spinal rod adjacent to the first fastener;
• connecting the first spinal rod with the first fastener;
• percutaneously delivering a second fastener along a cortical trajectory disposed in alignment with the first vertebral level;
• fastening the second fastener with the first vertebral level adjacent a contralateral portion of the vertebrae;
• percutaneously delivering a second spinal rod adjacent to the second fastener;
• connecting the second spinal rod with the second fastener;
• and
• maintaining the body in the lateral orientation relative to the surgical fixed surface during the steps of delivering and fastening the fasteners,
• wherein the pedicle and cortical trajectories each extend transverse relative to a sagittal plane that extends parallel to spinous processes of the vertebrae.

• fastening the second fastener with the first vertebral level adjacent a contralateral portion of the vertebrae, wherein the contralateral portion is disposed between the lateral portion and the surgical fixed surface;
• percutaneously delivering a second spinal rod adjacent to the second fastener;
• connecting the second spinal rod with the second fastener;
• and
• delivering an interbody implant along a direct lateral trajectory adjacent the first vertebral level without moving the body from the lateral orientation,
• wherein the pedicle and cortical trajectories each extend transverse relative to a sagittal plane that extends parallel to spinous processes of the vertebrae.
