October 7, 2003 - Innovative
Spinal Surgery to be Featured in Internet Broadcast from Wake Forest
University Baptist Medical Center
A new minimally
invasive approach to spinal surgery will be broadcast live on the
internet at 5 pm EDT on Tuesday, October 7 from Wake Forest University
Baptist Medical Center. The surgery, a posterior lumbar interbody
fusion (PLIF), will employ a new tubular retraction method that
requires only a small skin incision and "splits" the muscle covering
the spine to create a small portal through which surgeons can repair
the spinal damage.
