Skin Incision

•  A midline incision is used over the levels that are to be resected.

•  The fascia is clearly identified prior to incision.

•  The fascia is then identified and opened in the midline over the spinous process. Subperiosteal dissection is accomplished with a Cobb elevator.

•  The laminae are exposed to the medial edge of the facet capsule.
