Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) approaches for the correction of adult spinal deformity have gained popularity in the past decade. MIS approaches can result in decreased hospitalization times and decreased morbidity. However, compared to open techniques, MIS approaches are challenging in the setting of fixed sagittal deformity and strategic surgical staging. Combined MIS and miniopen techniques are described as "hybrid" techniques. We report on the surgical approach for a fixed sagittal deformity using both MIS and miniopen techniques, specifically a miniopen pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) and an anterior column release (ACR). The patient gave written informed consent for surgical treatment; institutional review board approval was not required. The patient first underwent the placement of percutaneous modular pedicle screws from T12 to the pelvis as well as a mini-PSO across the previously fused L5 vertebral body, with the placement of a temporary rod. The following day, the patient underwent lateral transpsoas interbody fusion and ACR at L2/3; a percutaneous rod was then passed from T12 to the pelvis for segmental fixation. The patient recovered well and was discharged home without complication 6 d after the initial day of surgery. The combined use of surgical staging and traditional open techniques in a selective, minimalistic fashion and adherence to minimally invasive principles provide for a powerful set of surgical techniques that capitalize on less invasive approaches to deformity management.
