[Problem to be Solved] A traverse that is percutaneously provided and a surgical instrument for percutaneously providing the transverse are provided. [Solution] A rod 10 is placed in each of two rod openings 113, 123 and a transverse bar 130 is inserted in two bar holes 111, 121. Set screws 140, 150 are screwed in screw holes 114, 124. The set screws 140, 150 press the transverse bar 130, thereby restraining the transverse bar 130 in the longitudinal direction. Since portions of the bar holes 111, 121 adjoin the rod openings 113, 123, the pressed transverse bar 130 contacts the rods 10 and pushes the rods 10 against the rod openings 113, 123. A protrusion 127 engages with the rods 10 to restrain hooks 110, 120 in the longitudinal direction and circumferential direction of the rods 10.
