• “Mild to moderate” stenosis indication
for ISP implantation refers to patients’
symptoms (able to walk at least 50
feet), not the MRI findings.
• Although studies show that
claudication in patients with severe
stenosis (on magnetic resonance
imaging [MRI]) can be helped with
ISP implants, some surgeons reserve
this device for mild to moderate
stenosis (on MRI) patients only.
• Three-level implantation of the device is
not currently approved. Some surgeons
have had success with treatment of
three-level stenosis with ISP
implantation.

• Nonsurgical management, that is,
physical therapy, epidural steroid
injections, and so forth
• Laminectomy without fusion or with

• If operating at the L4-5 level, avoid an
incision directly over the prominent L4
spinous process, and deviate slightly
more caudad to center on the
interspinous space.

be trimmed to position the implant as
anterior as possible.

• Ensure the patient is adequately
secured to the bed with straps.
• If the facet capsule is hypertrophic, the
implant will be placed too posteriorly,
compromising its efficacy and
increasing the risk of implant
dislodgement.
Positioning

Lateral positioning on radiolucent table (Figure 31-4)

n
Avoid injury to the supraspinous ligament as well as the facet anatomy.
n
Remove excessive spinous process osteophytes with rongeur.
Procedure
Step 1: Positioning
n
The lateral position can be used in combination with conscious sedation and
local anesthetic (see Figure 31-4).
n
General anesthesia and prone positioning is also appropriate if a Wilson frame
is used.
Step 2: Incision
n
Make a midline skin incision with bilateral fascial incision exposing the inferior
and superior aspects of the spinous processes at the selected interspinous
segment (Figure 31-5).

• All implants have specific dilators for
their respective system. It is important
to become familiar with them before
the procedure.
S T E P 3 P IT FA L L S
• Ensure, radiographically, the correct
level, as well as that the dilators and
sizers for the interspace are positioned
sufficiently anteriorly, just posterior to
the spinolaminar junction.
• Avoid overdilating, because this may
lead to fracture of the spinous
processes or rupture of the
interspinous/supraspinous ligaments.
S T E P 4 P EA R L S
• When sizing, the interspace tension in
the supraspinous ligament should be
developed until the sizing device has
two-finger resistance; oversizing the
implant should be avoided.
Step 3: Preparing Interspace
n
Develop the interspinous space with the small and large dilators, and confirm
the position on a radiograph (Figure 31-6).
n
Gradually increase the space by dilation using the sizer until it is noted, clinically,
that the interspinous ligament is taut (sometimes a “vacuum disk” is noted
radiographically at the posterior aspect of the disk space, confirming a disk
space distraction) (Figure 31-7).
Step 4: Implantation
n
Select the appropriate implant size based on the sizing trials.
n
Each implant has unique fixation methods that should be clearly understood by
the surgeon before the procedure (Figure 31-8).
S T E P 4 P IT FA L L S
• Do not overstuff the interspace with
too large an implant, because this
may stress the spinous processes and
result in a delayed fracture caused by
superphysiologic forces on the spinous
processes.

P O S T OP E R AT IV E P E A R L S
• Most patients state that their
preoperative claudication pain is
relieved immediately after surgery.
• Inadequate preoperative symptom relief
should be evaluated with further
imaging and may potentially require
additional therapy, including physical
therapy and at-time epidural steroid
injections.
• If patient continues complaining of
axial low back pain, they should be
reminded that the surgery was to
address their buttock and leg pain;
once the leg and buttock pain is
relieved, the patient may start
complaining of the remaining low back
pain.
P O S T OP E R AT IV E P I T F A L L S
• Although rare, any neurologic change
occurring abruptly postoperatively
should signal immediate evaluation by
the surgeon, because dislodgement,
fracture, disk herniation, and infection
are a concern.
Postoperative Care and Expected Outcomes
n
The patient can mobilize postoperatively with adequate analgesia.
n
A 2-week follow-up should be done for wound evaluation as well as standing
AP and lateral radiographs to ensure maintained implant positioning.

Indications
n
Lumbar degenerative disk disease
n
Anterior column support in long fusion constructs
n
Restoring lumbar lordosis
n
Pseudarthrosis following posterior lumbar fusion
n
Lumbar fusions at high risk for nonunion
n
Tumor and trauma
Examination/Imaging
n
Use magnetic resonance imaging to assess degree of disk degeneration (Figure
32-1).
n
Obtain a standing lateral radiograph of the lumbar spine to assess whether the
sacral slope and L5-S1 disk are at an angle that can be accessed through the
anterior approach (Figure 32-2). If the sacral slope is severe (L5-S1 spondylolisthesis), access to the disk can be very difficult.

preoperatively to ensure that all views
are obtainable without obstruction from

rotate side to side can be helpful for
visualization during the approach.

Positioning
n
The patient is positioned supine on a radiolucent operating room table.
n
The patient’s arms are positioned at the sides in an abducted position on rests
to allow lateral imaging (Figure 32-5).
Portals/Exposures
n
A lateral fluoroscopic image is used to mark the level of incision.
n
A radiopaque rod or pin is used to mark the angle of the disk and the corre-
sponding trajectory to the abdominal wall. The incision site is adjusted to give
optimum access to the disk to be operated upon.
n
A transverse or longitudinal incision is made a few centimeters lateral to midline
at the corresponding disk level, in line with the angle of the disk space. Figure
32-6, (
line A
) shows the more vertical approach to L4-5 and a higher incision
level, and Figure 32-6, (
levels are being addressed, the incision should be between the levels, or a
longitudinal incision can be used.
n
The anterior rectus sheath is incised transversely, while avoiding the underlying
rectus muscle.
n
The transversalis fascia is gently incised with a no. 15 scalpel, and the interval
between the peritoneum and fascia is developed.
n
The retroperitoneal cavity is dissected bluntly toward the midline (left to right),
and the peritoneal contents are retracted to expose the anterior spine.
