A revision connector that is configured to couple a new spine fixation rod to a previously implanted spine fixation rod that is secured to a plurality of vertebrae. The previously implanted spine fixation rod may be received in a first rod receiving channel of the revision connector. The revision connector may include a linkage that is received in a second rod receiving channel of another revision connector. For example, the another revision connector may couple to the new spine fixation rod such that the revision connector is coupled to the new fixation rod. A bone anchor may not directly connect either of the revision connector or the another revision connector to underlying vertebra. Also, the new spine fixation rod can be implanted and secured to vertebra that are caudal and/or cranial with respect to the previously secured vertebrae.
