The sheep is becoming increasingly used as a large animal model for preclinical spine surgery studies. Access to the ovine lumbar intervertebral discs has traditionally been via an anterior or anterolateral approach, which requires larger wound incisions and, at times, significant abdominal retraction. We present a new minimally invasive operative technique for a far-lateral approach to the ovine lumbar spine that allows for smaller incisions, excellent visualisation of intervertebral discs, and minimal abdominal retraction and is well tolerated by animals with minimal morbidity.
绵羊越来越多地被用作临床前脊柱手术研究的大型动物模型。传统上，进入绵羊腰椎间盘是通过前路或前外侧入路，这需要更大的伤口切口，有时还需要显著的腹部牵拉。我们提出了一种新的微创外科技术，用于绵羊腰椎远外侧入路，该技术切口更小，椎间盘可视化良好，腹部牵拉最小，动物耐受性良好，发病率极低。
