Abstract
Devices and methods are provided for assisting with spinal stabilization. One or more spinal stabilization systems can be coupled to one or more tower access devices for delivery to target locations in a patient. The spinal stabilization systems can include a bone screw, a housing for the bone screw and a spinal rod. A screw delivery device can be inserted through the tower access device and used to anchor the bone screws to the spine. A rod delivery device can be used to insert the rod along the tower access devices to the housings. A rod reducer can thread onto the tower access device and urge the rod into position. A hinge can couple two tower access devices at a desired lateral spacing while allowing some pivotal movement of the access devices. Systems, kits, and methods combining and utilizing the aforementioned devices are also provided.
