Abstract:
A surgical instrument assembly includes a frame system, and a surgical tool engageable with the frame system. The frame system is adapted for providing a surgical tool attachment and articulation locus that is maintained during the course of a surgical procedure to direct a fixed and repeatable delivery path for introduction and manipulation of one or more surgical instruments and implants at a surgical site in or on the patient's anatomy. The delivery path can be substantially curvilinear along an arc that is defined by a radius of curvature and length defined by the surgical tool, and a predetermined range of articulation of the tool at the articulation locus.

Claim (Index 11):
A surgical instrument assembly according to  claim 10 , comprising a guidance instrument for selecting an incision site for access to the spine of a surgical subject, wherein the height of the vertically adjustable extender is determined based on one or more anatomical measurements obtained radiographically or manually relative to a vertebra of interest, including one more of a spinous process, anterior and posterior vertebral margins, and associated disc margins, the measurements selected from\n distance from a skin surface above the spinous process to the spinous process, distance from the top of the spinous process to the anterior margin of the disc, distance from the top of the spinous process to the posterior margin of the disc, wherein the height of the vertically adjustable extender is selected to enable travel of the incision guidance instrument pivot arm along the desired radius of curvature.
