He emphasizes the importance of understanding the anatomy of the retroperitoneum and the structures within it, as well as the need for mastery of the EMG monitoring during the procedure. He highlights that complications can arise if the surgeon is not precise in their placement of the retractor and if they do not have a good understanding of the anatomy and potential risks involved. The speaker also highlights the importance of patient positioning and the need for a perfect AP and lateral position to avoid complications. He recommends being efficient and using minimal instruments during the procedure, as well as being careful not to oversize the implant. Overall, the speaker emphasizes the need for meticulous surgical technique, knowledge of anatomy, and understanding of EMG monitoring to avoid complications. The video concludes with an invitation for interested individuals to apply for a fellowship at the speaker's institution. No credits are granted in the video.
