The MAST MIDLF procedure uses a proprietary retractor and cortical bone screw fixation in conjunction with Medtronic’s comprehensive surgical platform of interbody, navigation, neuromonitoring and biologic options.
Referred to as a midline laminectomy approach, it enables a minimally invasive spinal fusion surgery by accessing the spine in the middle lower back and eliminates the need for surgeons to work through a tubular retractor. The MAST MIDLF procedure may also be used with Medtronic’s surgical navigation and imaging systems.
