Atlas of Minimal Access Spine Surgery-2판

In this second edition of the classic Atlas of Minimal Access
Spine Surgery (originally published as the Atlas of Endoscopic
Spine Surgery), editors Regan and Lieberman provide the
authoritative operative reference for both the novice and the
experienced spine surgeon. This extensively illustrated new
edition stands as a comprehensive thesis on the rapidly evolving
field of minimally invasive spine surgery.

Greatly expanded over the previous edition, this updated volume
is the most encompassing reference on the subject available
today. It prepares surgeons to effectively meet the increased
demand for minimal access spine surgery. With smaller incisions,
less pain, shortened hospital stays, substantial savings in
health care dollars, and lower morbidity, it is clearly the
preferred method for both patient and surgeon.

Written by the world's foremost endoscopic surgeons, this
thoroughly up-to-date volume provides expert advice, tips, and
caveats, plus step-by-step operative guidance to the full range
of current minimal access spine surgery techniques. Hundreds of
photographs and precise illustrations, mostly in color, guide
the surgeon through each major step of every procedure,
detailing anatomic structure and instrument positioning.

The Atlas of Minimal Access Spine Surgery explores in detail
those new procedures which have been developed to utilize recent
advancements in fiber optics, versatile spinal implants, and
computer image-guided assistance to improve outcomes in the
management of spinal disorders. It incorporates such relatively
new procedures as endoscopic scoliosis correction, micro-
endoscopic discectomy, and the latest advances in artificial
disc replacement. The authors examine every significant topic:
anesthetic considerations, indications and contraindications,
instrumentation and surgical systems, complications, outcomes,
and more.

Completely updated and expanded, this new edition of the Atlas
of Minimal Access Spine Surgery stands as the definitive volume
for surgeons planning to take their skills to the highest level.
