Pre-sacral space between parietal and visceral fascia
Potential for deviation into visceral structures reduced by advancing trocar along the sacrum
Average sagittal diameter of presacralspace measured 1.2 cm

Pre-op Workup
Indications for fusion
Contraindication
• Previous bowel surgery, IBD, Pelvic disease
Age appropriate
Failure of conservative therapy
Images: MRI & Flexion/Extension films
• Standard field of view for lumbar MR increased to include coccyx

• Surface Area
• Location
• Conduit to Fusion
• Still highly debatable
• Better Anterior Technique
• Bigger Grafts
• Load Sharing
• Accessing Strongest Bone
