3. Ability to work anterior/posteriorly simultaneously. I could not remove the L3-4 retained cage through the pronelateral incision (it was on right side) so I identified it using nav posteriorly through my PCO. I was able to posteriorly grab it with a pituitary and push into my pronelateral incision.
4. 27 degree restoration at L5-S1 5. When I was working laterally, my PA was working posteriorly and literally yelled “I can see the Light!!” It was my head light
6. Patient is doing great at 4 weeks PO minus a 4/5 right foot drop that I am a bit baffled by.
WARNING: When Irrigating posteriorly in a pronelateral case, be aware of irrigation coming out the lateral approach incision onto your feet.
