`
`Technological advances have allowed many surgical techniques to evolve into "minimally invasive" procedures with less risk and superior outcomes.
`Unfortunately, posterior spinal fusion has not been one of these procedures. Inadequate exposure and limited visualization often compromises the
`surgeon's ability to adequately and safely perform this operation. When compared to conventional techniques, the risk—benefit ratio of “minimally
`invasive" posterior fusion techniques has not justified acceptance by most spinal surgeons and patients... until now.
`
`The MaXcess System provides maximum surgical access while minimizing the soft tissue disruption that occurs during open techniques. The system's
`modular blade assembly assures a proper size for each patient. The operative corridor is illuminated and may be expanded and angulated to provide
`direct visualization of the patient's anatomy. The split blade design allows instruments to be angled against the wound edge to optimize position and
`safety. These features of the MaXcess System offer the surgeon the opportunity to perform procedures with conventional surgical instruments and
`techniques, without the added morbidity of conventional open exposures.
`
`This guide describes the MaXcess technique for transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion through a minimal muscle-splitting approach. The morbidity of this
`operation has been minimal, with most patients requiring only "23—hour inpatient observation” postoperatively. Since clinical and radiographic results seem
`to compare favorably to similar open procedures, it is our belief that this operation should be seriously considered for any patients that require posterior
`interbody fusion.

`
`STEP 1 :
`PATIENT POSITIONING AND O.R. ser-up
`
`Patient is placed on the operating table in a prone position
`(Fig. 1). Ensure a bedrail exists on the table to which an
`articulating arm will mount. The patient is then prepared and
`draped in a conventional manner (Hg. 2).
`
`

`
`TLIF SURGICAL TECHNIQUE
`
`STEP 2:
`EXPOSURE
`
`Fluoroscopy in the AP and Lateral views is used to locate
`the affected level. Transforaminal access to the disc space
`is typically performed on the most symptomatic side.
`Palpate spinous process to define midline. Move 2—4cm off
`of midline to mark incision point on skin with a surgical
`pen at the level of the disc space. Proper location may be
`confirmed using a spinal needle. Make a small (~1cm)
`longitudinal incision at the location of the spinal needle. It
`is recommended to incise the fascia to facilitate the insertion
`of subsequent Dilators (Hg. 3).
`
`Replace spinal needle with K—Wire and advance through the
`fascia. Care is taken not to advance the K-Wire through inter-
`laminar space. Exchange the blunt tipped initial Dilator over
`K—Vlfire prior to advancing to the medial aspect of the facet joint
`(Figs. 4, 5). The stainless steel Dilators should be used to opti-
`mize fluoroscopic visualization.
`
`Using lluoroscopy, confirm that the initial Dilator is parallel
`to the disc space in the sagittal plane. Upon confirmation of
`position on lateral fluoroscopy, extend the incision lcm on
`either side of the initial Dilator (~3cm total).

`STEP 33
`BONY DECOMPRESSION AND ANNULAR EXPOSURE
`
`Expose the anatomical landmarks using a Bovie and Pituitary
`Rongeurs. Begin bony removal of facet joint by removing the
`inferior articular process of the superior vertebra (Figs I8, 79).
`This is performed using a combination of Kenisons and burrs.
`
`Continue facetectomy until pedicle-to—pedicle exposure
`is achieved. Using bipolar cautery, coagulate and divide
`epidural veins at base of caudal pedide. Expose disc by gentle
`cephalad mobilization of veins. The disc space is exposed
`within the axlla of the exiting nerve root and the lateral margin
`of the dura (I-7g. 20).
`
`An annular window is created along the inferior borders of
`the exiting nerve root to the lateral border of the dura using
`the Annulotomy Knife.
`
`”Contralateral decompression can be achieved if necessary
`by undercutting the lamina at the base of the spinous
`process. Removal ofcontralateralhypertrophied ligamentum
`flavum and bony decompression of the lateral recess may
`be achieved by utilizing a curved Kerrison. Access Driver
`may be rotated to assist in this additional medial exposure.
`It also can be angled‘inferiorly to enable foraminotomy of
`the l'PS'70f€f0/'579TV9 "301"
`
`- William 707101‘: MD-
`
`"I utilize the inferior edge of the laminar/facet junction as
`my starting point for bony removal The decompression is
`performed up to the Iigamentous insertion cranially and
`then laterally to the superior pedicle where the exiting
`nerve root is identified. This pedicle to pedicle exposure is
`perhaps the most important factor in ensuring a successful

`
`‘’l define the anatomical landmarks including the pars,
`facet joint, and medial aspect of transverse processes by
`removing attached soft tissue. I begin the facetectomy by
`debullring the facet complex with rongeurs or a burr. I then
`complete bony removal with appropriate sized Kerrison
`Rongeurs. Resection of bone and ligament is performed
`until exposure is flush with inferior wall of cephalad pedi-
`cle and the superior wall of caudal pedicle, and the lateral

`
`STEP 4:
`DISC REMOVAL AND ENDPLATE PREPARATION
`
`The Triad“ Lumbar Allograft — TLlF system offers a compre-
`hensive set of disc space preparation instruments. A combi-
`nation of these instruments and other Nuvasive devices may
`be used based on surgeon preference.
`
`PITUITARY RONGEURS
`
`Use Pituitary Rongeurs to remove nucleus, creating space for
`the other disc removal instruments to be inserted into disc
`space.
`
`‘
`
`”
`
`F
`
`CHISEL
`
`If necessary, use the 7mm Straight Chisel to remove posterior
`endplate osteophytes for increased access to the disc space
`(Fig. 21).
`
`DISC CUTTER
`
`Place the Disc Cutter into the disc space. Using a rotating
`motion, the disc material is cut and loosened from the end-
`plates. By withdrawing the Disc Cutter, material is removed
`from the disc space. Remaining loose disc material can be
`removed with Pituitary Rongeurs (Fig. 22).
`
`CU RETl'ES
`
`Use the Straight, Left, Right, Up, and Down Angled Curettes
`to reach the extents of the disc space, and scrape disc mate-
`rial and cartilage from the endplates (Fig. 23).
`
`SCRAPER
`Place the Scraper into the disc space. Using a pulling motion,
`scrape the endplates to remove residual disc material and
`cartilage (Fig. 24).
`
`DSP"" BRUSH (provided separately)
`Using the DSP V-Retractors, retract and protect neural struc-
`tures prior to using the Brush. Place the DSP Brush into the
`disc space. Using a rotating motion, use the brush to capture
`disc material and clean cartilage from the endplates (Fig. 25).
`Remove from disc space, release from T-Handle, and dispose
`of brush. Repeat sequence with new brush until desired
`level of disc space preparation is achieved. Refer to the DSP
`Technical Brochure (P/N 9003326) for more information on
`the DSP System.
`
`RASPS
`
`Use the Straight and Angled Rasp with a push/pull motion as
`a final step in preparing the endplates (Fig. 26).

`
`
`STEP 5:
`DISC SPACE DISTRACTION AND ALLOGRAFT SIZING
`
`Gently impact the TLIF sizers into the interbody space to distract
`and determine final allograft implant size. Sequentially increase
`the size used until adequate distraction is achieved (Hg. 27).
`
`STEP 6:
`BROACHING
`
`Further removal of endplate osteophytes may be achieved
`by using Broaches. Broach size is determined by the height
`of the largest sizer accommodated in the disc space. The
`atraumatic tangs of the appropriate sized Broach are posi-
`tioned medial and lateral and seated into the disc space.
`Assure the cutting blades are parallel to the endplates prior
`to impaction.
`Impact the Broach into the disc space to
`remove posterior endplate osteophytes (Fig. 28).
`
`STEP 7:
`ALLOGRAFT INSERTION
`
`The height of the Triad” Lumbar Allograft is determined by
`the last TLIF Sizer used.
`
`Allograft insertion may be accomplished by using either an
`impacted technique or an insert and rotate technique.*
`
`IMPACTED TECHNIQUE
`Select either a straight or angled lnserter that corresponds to
`the size of the allograft selected (Fig. 29).
`
`Place the allograft implant onto lnserter with concave surface
`facing the long tang (Fig. 30). Lock implant in place by rotat-
`ing the lnserter Sleeve relative to the T-Handle in a clockwise
`direction.

`
`STEP 7:
`ALLOGRAFT msennon (com)
`The implant is positioned adjacent to the opening of the
`annulus with the concave surface held by the long tang of the
`lnserter facing medial. it is then gently impacted into the disc
`space (Figs. 37, 32) and released from the lnserter (Hg. 33).
`
`INSERTAND ROTATE TECHNlQUE*
`Select a Straight lnserter that corresponds to the size of the
`allograft selected.
`
`Place the implant at the opening of the annulus such that the
`concave surface held by the long tang of the lnserter faces
`inferiorly. This is 90° from its eventual orientation within the
`disc space. It is then gently impacted into the disc space, posi-
`tioned obliquely across the disc space, and then rotated 90°
`such that the concave surface then faces medially (Fig. 34).
`
`”The ‘insert and rotate’ technique of graft placement has
`several potential advantages over conventional methods.
`Inserting the graft in a 90° rotatedposition creates a geo-
`metric match between the rectangular profile of the graft
`and the annulotomy site . This relationship allows the graft
`to be inserted into the interspace with little or no retraction
`of the exiting nerve root or them! sac. This reduces risk of
`nerve root injury and often improves visualization by elim-
`inating the need of a nerve root retractor vw'thin the opera-
`tive field. Once within the interspace the graft position may
`be easily adjusted, as the graft has not yet engaged the
`endplates. With the graft in the desiredposition, interspace
`distraction may be achieved by rotating the graft 90°. This
`maneuver decompresses the contralateral foramen and
`result in endplate engagement and graft compression.
`When the graft is placed across the anterior third of the
`interspace this technique also produces lordodic segmental
`alignment.”
`
`— Mark Peterson, M.D.
`
`
`The implant is then released from the inserter (Fig. 35).
`
`
`
`(/:,g_ 35)
`
`”When using the ‘insert and rotate’ technique, lprefer to
`rotate the graft prior to placing it all the way into the disc
`space. The stronger endplate bane near the annulus allows
`
`me to get better distraction of the disc space and reduces
`the chance of endplate damage.”
