It involves approaching the lumbar spine from a lateral, retroperitoneal position, rather than the traditional me<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">thod of going from posterior. This allows the surgeon to achieve a higher rate of fusion while minimizing the amount of muscle dissection needed, and thus potentially shorten the recovery time for patients.<br \/>\nDr. Beckman, presented a lecture to the residents, describing the key components of this technique, including his tips, tricks, pitfalls, and complication avoidance tactics. The lecture was followed by an animated discussion on the indications and patient selection for this procedure, and how it compares to other more traditional surgical procedures.<br \/>\nThe residents then each performed the procedure on cadavers, using the actual instruments one may use during the surgery. Drs. Sun and Beckman, guided the residents through these procedures, step by step with fluoroscopy guidance, just as the actual surgery is performed.
