ISBN: 1588295222 ISBN-13: 9781588295224 Publisher: Humana OUR PRICE: $161.49 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: June 2005 Annotation: This authoritative and highly illustrated guide to arthoscopic and endoscopic surgery describes and illustrates state-of-the-art techniques and approaches that are currently used for the treatment of painful spine pathologies and the prevention of postsurgical failed back syndrome. The authors demonstrate step-by-step how minimally invasive techniques are performed in spinal surgery and how anatomical structures appearing through an endoscope can help in the diagnosis and recognition of various anatomical structures of the spine. An accompanying DVD shows actual surgical procedures performed during arthroscopic and endoscopic microdiscectomy and arthroscopic interbody fusion using percutaneous pedicular fixators. |

| Publisher Description: The term "minimally invasive spinal surgery" was coined in early 1990 following pub- cation of the first edition of this text entitled Arthroscopic Microdiscectomy: Minimal Intervention in Spinal Surgery, and subsequent establishment of the International Society for Minimal Intervention in Spinal Surgery (ISMISS) under the auspices of the International Society of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology (SICOT) in April l990. The orthopedic and neurological surgeons who participated in lectures and hands-on wo- shops both in Philadelphia and abroad have witnessed the evolution of minimally invasive spinal surgery from blind nucleotomy to endoscopic fragmentectomy, decompression of l- eral recess stenosis, foraminoplasty, and spinal stabilization. In Arthroscopic and Endoscopic Spinal Surgery: Text and Atlas, Second Edition, experts describe and illustrate various techniques and approaches that are currently used in this field. In addition, the ongoing research for the betterment of spine care via minimally invasive approaches is briefly reviewed. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to so many of my colleagues who s- ported my efforts in the field of minimally invasive spinal surgery throughout the years. Many of them participated in our teaching symposiums and have provided valuable cont- butions to this text. |
