Live Webcast: AxiaLIF® Percutaneous L5-S1 Lumbar Fusion
SOURCE: OR-Live, Inc.
3:56PM, May 7, 2008
TranS1 has pioneered a revolutionary approach to access the lumbar spine. The AxiaLIF® (Axial Lumbar Interbody Fusion) System includes surgical instruments for creating a safe and reproducible pre-sacral access route to the L5-S1 vertebral bodies. The AxiaLIF technique features instrumentation to enable standard of care fusion principles, distraction, and stabilization of the anterior lumbar column while mitigating the soft tissue trauma associated with traditional lumbar fusion through open surgical incisions.
Using AxiaLIF, the lumbar spine is accessed through an axial channel in the sacrum. This atraumatic tissue plane alleviates the need for the surgeon to cut through supporting muscles and ligaments, thus reducing post-operative pain and the prospect of complications.
On Thursday May 8th at 12:30pm Dr. Jonathan Hyde of Mt. Sinai Medical Center will perform this revolutionary procedure as Dr. William Tobler moderates.
