Jeff, welcome to the forum! Sorry you find yourself in this situation. Regan is one of the developers of VATS and probably has more experience with it than anyone.

Has anyone discussed XLIF with you? T5-6 is getting pretty high for that, but I'd at least discuss it.

I know a handful of people with VATS... some good... some not so good. t-spine problems are tough.

Good luck!

Mark
