Abstract
A patient support frame for use on an operating table during posterior lumbar laminectomy surgery comprises a frame for attachment to said table and a pair of iliac crest supports slidably mounted on said frame. The iliac crest supports are adjustable to engage the iliacs, or hipbones, of the patient whereby the prone patient is supported so that the abdomen does not touch the table and is substantially without pressure thereon.
