Transdermal placement of rods and screws for fusion, i.e. immobilization and stabilization of the spine section in cases of instability.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia.

During transdermal fusion, the screws and bars are placed transdermally, that is through small incisions of the skin and guided radiographically by guidewires they are placed at the desired point of the vertebral bodies.

These screws have non-permanent extensions that come out of the skin and serve to facilitate the placement of the rods and their stabilization.

At the end of the procedure they are removed. The placement is confirmed under C-Arm atdifferent times of the procedure.
