Graduation of the Learning Curve from Small to Smaller: Evolution of Tubular Retractors from 18 mm to 14 mm in Management of Lumbar Disc Herniation

Graduation of the Learning Curve from Small to Smaller: Evolution of Tubular Retractors from 18 mm to 14 mm in Management of Lumbar Disc Herniation

Objective While the utility of 16 mm and 18 mm diameter tubular-retractors in the management of prolapsed intervertebral-disc is well-established, there is no published literature on the use of 14 mm tube.
