1 Technical Challenges and Utility of Anterior Exposure for Thoracic Spine Pathology 
Brian L. Pettiford, MD, Matthew J. Schuchert, MD, Geetha Jeyabalan, MD, James R. Landreneau, Arman Kilic, BS, Joshua P. Landreneau, Omar Awais, MD, Michael S. Kent, MD, Peter F. Ferson, MD, James D. Luketich, MD, Andrew B. Peitzman, MD, Rodney J.

2 Fig 1 Thoracolumbar spine exposure. Note the BOOKWALTER retraction system in place. This allows retraction at several points and angles in comparison to a standard “ribspreader” system.

3 Fig 2 Cervical spine exposure through left neck. Special care is taken to avoid injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve during self-retaining retractor positioning. The sternocleidomastoid and carotid sheath are retracted laterally to provide exposure to the cervical spine with extension into an upper sternal split.
