Transpedicular corpectomies are frequently used to perform anterior surgery from a posterior approach Minimally invasive thoracolumbar corpectomies have been previously described, but these are performed through a urn lateral approach Bilateral access must be obtained for a circumferential decompression when using such techniques The authors describe a technique that allows for a mini-open transpedicular corpectomy 360 degrees decompression, and expandable cage reconstruction through a single posterior approach This is performed using percutaneous pedicle screws the trap-door rib head osteotomy, and a single midline fascial exposure The authors describe this technique with intraoperative photos and a video demonstrating the technique (DOI 103171/2010 10 SPINE091009)
