In the standard positioning of all conventional surgeries at the dorsal spine the “THORAMIC” set enables you to carry out all additionally required transthoracic procedures up to the corporectomy and vertebral body replacement without repositioning. In consequence, a completely minimally invasive technique can be applied for corrective spondylodesis, especially when dorsal percutaneous techniques for release and stabilization are indicated.
- No intraoperative repositioningnecessary
- Avoiding invasivity of an open thoracotomy
- Spinal surgery in prone position allows for better spatial orientation
- All required exposures and manipulations by only two small skin incisions
- No division of muscles of the chest wall
- Excellentintraoperative illumination and visualization
- No rip osteotomynecessary due to intercostal approach
- Lower costs due to reduced demand on intensive care
