Abstract
The purpose of these pilot studies was to determine the potential of differ ent stapling methods to induce lateral spinal curvature in skeletally immat ure pigs using an anterior endoscopic approach without fusion. Two methods resulted in no curvature: one method induced a 20 degrees curve in 6 weeks.
