Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery offers a comprehensive, technique-focused guide to the rapidly evolving field of minimally invasive approaches to spinal pathology. This definitive text provides spine surgeons with detailed surgical techniques, patient selection criteria, and outcome optimization strategies.

The book systematically covers percutaneous and endoscopic approaches to the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, including disc herniation, spinal stenosis, degenerative conditions, deformity correction, and tumor resection. Each technique chapter features step-by-step instructions with accompanying intraoperative photographs and anatomical illustrations.

Special attention is given to surgical navigation, robotic-assisted procedures, and emerging technologies that enhance precision and safety. The text addresses learning curves, complication avoidance, and conversion strategies when minimally invasive approaches are insufficient.

Authored by internationally recognized spine surgeons from leading academic centers, this volume represents the collective expertise of pioneers in minimally invasive spine surgery, making it an essential resource for orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and spine surgery fellows.
