ANS: B
The Jackson table and the Jackson-Wilson table with the central arch are used for posterior spinal incisions. Both tables allow the surgeon to position the patient for optimal vertebral position and exposure of the surgical site. The patient may be positioned prone on a Jackson table or Wilson or Andrews frame to arch the spine forward, to reduce epidural blood loss by lowering the intraabdominal pressure on the vena cava.
