The lumbar retroperitoneal transpsoas corpectomy technique is probably the most difficult minimally invasive technique to learn. The approach is similar to the discectomy technique, but has to be extended to span the two discs, above and below the pathologic vertebral body. Supplemental fixation with either a lateral plate or posterior pedicle screws is recommended.
