In order to improve a surgical fastening element (16) for a vertebral column-stabilizing system comprising at least two fastening elements and at least one connecting element (26), which surgical fastening element comprises a fastening section (20), a holding section (22) that has a connecting element receptacle (24) and a securing element (42; 42'), which can be secured to the holding section, for securing the connecting element in the connecting element receptacle, in such a way that implantation of the vertebral column system is simplified, it is proposed that the securing element carries a retaining element (46; 46') for retaining the connecting element in the connecting element receptacle. |
