Michael Kachmann, MD, and Zachary Tempel, MD, from Mayfield Brain & Spine in Cincinnati used Pulse in an extreme lateral interbody fusion with minimally invasive fixation and nerve root decompression, according to a Sept. 30 news release. The surgery was performed at TriHealth’s Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati.
