Ventral Approach to the Lumbar Spine of the Sprague-Dawley Rat

Lumbar intervertebral disc repair is an important tissue-engineering research area. In creating an in vivo rat model to evaluate repair techniques, the authors developed a surgical transperitoneal approach that permits the easy exposure of four lumbar vertebral bodies with no surgery-related peri- o...
