Anatomy of the superior hypogastric plexus and its relevance to anterior lumbar interbody fusion
Based on the more extensive left-sided shift of the SHP at the L5-S1 level and frequent presence of the third left splanchnic lumbar nerve, attempting retraction to the left side is recommended. If it is not feasible, the SHP should be split at the midline, with both components mobilized laterally.
