Abstract
A rod removal instrument for removing a rod from the seat of a vertebral anchor is disclosed. The rod removal instrument comprises an outer shaft connected to an inner shaft. The outer shaft has a rod receiving portion at its distal end. When placed in juxtaposition with the rod, the rod removal instrument is rotated to hook the rod into the rod receiving portion. The inner shaft is then moved distally with respect to the outer shaft to dislodge the rod from the seat and capture it in the rod removal instrument for removal from the surgical site.
