Abstract
Methods and apparatus for providing percutaneous access to the presacral space in a minimally invasive, low trauma, manner. A number of related methods and surgical tool sets form a percutaneous pathway from an incision through the patient's skin adjacent to the coccyx and inserting an elongated guide assembly through the incision to locate the guide assembly against the anterior surface of the sacrum to access a presacral target point. The provision of the percutaneous pathway described herein allows for the introduction of therapeutic devices or media, diagnostic instruments, and/or drug delivery to the presacral space.
