It was performed via a transpedicular approach, including thoracic laminectomy and facetectomy. We did not remove any of the rib for this particular case, but may be necessary in some cases.

Excellent video, I want to know if you put any instrumentation posterior to resect the disk, vg transpedicular screws.
Thank you

We did not perform any spinal instrumentation or fusion with this procedure due to the inherent stability associated with the thoracic spine.
