An anterior-to-psoas approach, with the patient in the lateral decubitus position, passes anterior to the iliac crest while remaining retroperitoneal. Being anterior to the psoas may reduce or eliminate the need for neuro-monitoring. Globus Medical’s Anterolateral Instruments include a comprehensive array of approach-specific insertion and disc preparation instruments to simplify the anterior-to-psoas approach.
