Preparation: Clamshell bed
                     Scalpel
                     Medical Tricorder
                     Sedative
                     Neural Pathway Support
                     1 Life Support Pod
                     Neural/Spinal Monitor
                     Neural Tissue resequencer (Attached to the Clamshell
                     overhead) (Use If tissue Is fused/torn and after the spinal
                     disk regenerator is used If a break/tear/crack Is the case)
                     Spinal Disc regenerator(If serious break/tear/or crack Is the case)
                     Back brace and restraints
                     Antiseptic
                     Disinfectant (Preferably Baytirl)
                     Clean gauze pads
Procedure:
With the patient sedated, restrained, braced and on his/her stomach within the clamshell,
Place the Neural monitor just above the neck In back of the head and activate it.

Take a complete Neuro/Spinal scan before doing anything else,log the findings and Input the statistics Into the Neuro Spinal resequencer.

Attach the Neural pathway device to between the shoulders and slowly raise the power.

At the same time,slowly adjust the pathway neuro/chemical activity within the spine away from the entire spine and to the Neural pathway device.

The Idea Is for the Neural pathway device to take over temporary "command" of all bodily processes while the procedure Is taking place.

Once the Neuro/chemical activity In the spine Is at zero percent, Disinfect the skin near the spinal tear/snap/break and make a large Incision(If spinal disk Is broken see bottom).

Run the Neural Tissue regenerator at half power along the spinal wound until the tissue Is fused together.

Take a scan of the spine,If the spine Is completely repaired,close the Incision,clean the area,Inject the disinfectant and slowly transfer neuro/chemical pathway transfer signals back to the spine from the Neural pathway support device.
(This process should be done VERY SLOWLY Ideally over half an hour).

Continue to monitor neural activity and correct any errors.
Brain damage should not be a problem If breathing and heart rate are regular.

After 30 minutes,If there are no problem readouts, resuscitate the patient and wheel him/her to the recovery ward.

Note:The spinal brace Is to be worn at all times for a month as well as spinal support devices attached along the brace to straighten the spine and avoid sprains or further damage.Use life support If there are any cardio pulmonary problems.Cordical monitor will sound If there Is a neural pathway disruption.If there Is a neural pathway disruption anytime In the procedure,Increase the rate at which you send the control of the Neuro/chemical Information to the Neuro Pathway device.Correct for brain damage then continue.


If spine Is broken or cracked:Use the Spine Disc regenerator and then the tissue regenerator after opening the Incision.Once the spine Is connected again,use the Neuro tissue regenerator along the crack site.
