    摘要: A surgical instrument includes a first member having an inner surface and an outer surface. A second member has an inner surface and an outer surface. The outer surfaces are engageable with tissue adjacent a spine that defines a longitudinal axis. The members are relatively movable between a first configuration and a second configuration to space the tissue. In the first configuration, the members are disposable between a first position such that the inner surfaces define a substantially oval cavity that defines a major axis substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis and a second position such that the major axis is rotated relative to the longitudinal axis to space psoas tissue. Systems and methods are disclosed.

    摘要: A method facilitates the treatment of the spine of a patient by providing simultaneous access through at least a first opening and a second opening formed in the patient. For example, the method can include the acts of positioning the patient on a surgical table, providing the first opening into a posterior portion of the patient, providing the second opening into a lateral portion of the patient, inserting a first device through the first opening into the patient to contact the spine in a first direction that is transverse to the coronal plane of the patient, and inserting a second device through the second opening into the patient to contact the spine in a second direction that is transverse to the sagittal plane of the patient, where the first and second openings are accessible simultaneously, and, when the first and second devises are inserted into the patient, the position of the patient is stationary with respect to a portion of the table.
