Philosophy:
After sustaining a major spinal cord injury in 2005 due to a bicycling accident that left me initially quadriplegic, I have personal experience as a patient in need. Through excellent surgery, rehabilitation and caring from others, I was able to resume my career as a spine surgeon and my meaningful goal to help improve the lives of my patients using my own experience and decades of knowledge in the spine surgery field.

Minimally-Invasive Retroperitoneal Lateral Approach For Spinal Surgery
US Patent:
2012003, Feb 9, 2012
Filed:
Dec 23, 2009
Appl. No.:
13/133909
Inventors:
Scott Spann - Austin TX, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1716
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for introducing a spinal disc implant into an intervertebral space of a subject. The subject is placed in a lateral position, and the anterior face of the spinal disc intervertebral space is accessed, between the L5 and S1 vertebrae, from an anterior and lateral retroperitoneal approach. An operative corridor to the anterior face of the spinal disc space is established by introducing a retractor instrument anterolaterally to the spinal disc space between the anterior superior iliac spine and the anterior inferior iliac spine. The damaged spinal disc contents are removed from the intervertebral space through the operative corridor, and the implant is advanced into the intervertebral space at an oblique angle and pivoted to position the implant substantially laterally within the intervertebral space. Elongated retractor and insertion instruments, as well as a modified disc implant, are also disclosed for carrying out the method.
