Advances in the safety and efficacy of spinal surgical techniques in the past decade have been nothing short of remarkable. As internationally recognized experts on many of these techniques, the authors of this book are uniquely qualified to share their expertise with other surgeons, surgical nurses, researchers, students, and members of industry who are interested in today's innovative spinal procedures.
All clinicians involved in spinal surgery can benefit from this book as they work to improve diagnoses, techniques, and patient outcomes. The techniques described here are minimally invasive and are conducted percutaneously, which typically yields briefer surgeries, reduced patient hospital stays and recovery times, and improved patient outcomes—results that are a boon to clinicians and patients alike.
This book begins with a review of spinal anatomy and pathologies before delving into an extensive discussion of current approaches to palliative procedures and the latest in minimally invasive percutaneous surgical techniques. Each chapter provides detailed descriptions of the components of a successful procedure, including the advantages, disadvantages, indications, and contraindications for each technique. In the final chapter, the book culminates in a discussion of outcome measurements for the techniques described.
The easy to follow format is organized with headings and bullets that allow readers to quickly grasp essential information. Hundreds of detailed, high-quality illustrations, intraoperative photographs, and radiographic images enhance the text further, helping to clarify the information presented on each topic.
Understanding the techniques in this book is important for a thorough knowledge of the spinal surgery field today; the best course of treatment for a patient may be one described here. This book covers more than a dozen palliative techniques and over twenty minimally invasive procedures, including those incorporating new technologies, innovative techniques such as endoscopic cervical microdecompression of the disc and foramen, and posterolateral approaches to surgeries like thoracic discectomy and lumbar nuclectomy.
Every medical professional faces the dual constraints of limited time and almost unlimited new information. It is essential to have a resource that provides sufficient detail and instruction on new procedures while still being concise. Minimally Invasive Percutaneous Spinal Techniques consolidates pertinent information about the latest techniques into a single source, creating an invaluable clinical resource.
