Less invasiveness is the way forward for spinal surgery. Minimal disruption of tissue, preservation of muscle function, and restoration of normal spinal alignment are still the goals of most surgical procedures. An anterior lumbar fusion technique using a less invasive procedure with the addition of translaminar screws is described. The autograft is harvested from the vertebral body, thus avoiding the morbidity associated with an iliac crest bone graft. The operative steps for the procedure are described.
