Abstract
A system and method for excising tissue from a stenotic spinal region is disclosed. The system may comprise a surgical kit including an access instrument, a bone reamer, a bone removal instrument, and a soft tissue removal instrument. The access device may be cannulated and utilized to achieve a path for the insertion and advancement of the other surgical instruments towards a target area, such as the interlaminar region. The bone removal and/or soft tissue removal instrument may be used at various angular orientations and depths within the lumbar region to ergonomically excise compressive features including hypertrophied ligamentum flavum. Minimally invasive and open procedures are disclosed.
