Abstract
Among the determinants of the success of a surgical technique are an in-depth knowledge of the surgical anatomy, the combining of the expertise of the different professionals, and the availability of dedicated instruments and tools, which permit advances to take place in terms of expanding the indications, improving the results and reducing the complications.
