Method For Performing Minimally Invasive Surgery
US Patent:
2012019, Aug 2, 2012
Filed:
Apr 5, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/440908
Inventors:
Thomas Stuart Loftus - Austin TX, US
James Scott Hay - Parkland FL, US
Ryan Singh - Loxahatchee FL, US
James Scott Hay - Parkland FL, US
Ryan Singh - Loxahatchee FL, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/88
US Classification:
606279
Abstract:
Pedicle screw apparatuses each including a pedicle screw assembly and an attached pedicle screw extender are placed in a true percutaneous manner, thereby overcoming issues resulting from placing pedicle screw assemblies through a retractor. Thus, a retractor can advantageously be built off of the pedicle screw apparatuses, thereby allowing visualization of the spine anatomy directly. Furthermore, such a method for performing surgery ensures ideal placement of the retractor for additional procedures that are often required such as, for example, decompression, interbody device placement, etc.

International Classification:
A61B 1/32, A61B 17/88
US Classification:
600210
Abstract:
A blade assembly has a blade body and a blade body surround. A retractor attachment structure is attached to the blade body at the first end portion thereof extending from an exterior surface thereof. The retractor attachment structure is configured for having one of the blade body mounting structures of the retractor engaged therewith in a manner whereby the blade body is independently pivotable about and translatable along the blade body mounting structure. An alignment member protrudes from an interior surface of the blade body adjacent its first end portion. A slot extends through the blade body at its first end portion. The blade body surround and the blade body jointly form a generally cylindrical-shaped structure when the blade body is in a seated position within the slot. The cylindrical structure defines a central passage extending between the first and second end portions of blade body surround.
