An Anatomical Approach to Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery- CD2장

What separates the very good clinicians from the truly outstanding ones? More often than you might imagine, the
difference lies not in technical mastery or specific knowledge of disease processes, but in understanding relevant
anatomy. A sound anatomic background helps you improve your ability to recognize potential pitfalls and to effectively
handle problems when complications do arise.

Anatomically Oriented
While there are many atlases and technical references available in the rapidly growing field of spine surgery, most
focus exclusively on operative technique alone and make only a passing reference to the anatomic considerations that
greatly influence both short- and long-term outcomes. An Anatomic Approach to Minimal Access Spine Surgery fills this
gap by offering an anatomically oriented presentation of the latest developments in minimally invasive surgery for the
cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. Each chapter in this comprehensive reference balances clinical anatomy with
specific surgical applications. Every procedure is described in precise step-by-step fashion and is accompanied by
detailed color illustrations and intraoperative images that highlight the key steps for performing these techniques
safely and effectively. Numerous preoperative and postoperative images demonstrate the possible results that can be
achieved. Instrumentation, monitoring, outcome analysis, and complications are also discussed in detail.

World-Renowned Authors
An Anatomic Approach to Minimal Access Spine Surgery is edited by preeminent experts, Dr. Mick Perez-Cruet, Dr. Larry
Khoo, and Dr. Richard G. Fessler, who are joined by a group of outstanding contributors. This comprehensive publication
is filled with detailed anatomic and clinical information, collected throughout the years of these experts' experience,
to help the spine surgeon skillfully execute minimally invasive procedures for each region of the spine.

Hot TopicsComprehensive chapters are included on the range of minimally invasive spine surgery operations. Of
particular importance is the chapter on complication avoidance; this invaluable chapter provides the reader with
information on potential complications and how to avoid them to help ensure safe procedures, improved patient outcomes,
and reduced healthcare costs. In addition, chapters on minimally invasive fusion and instrumentation, percutaneous
pedicle screw targeting, injection based spine procedures, and artificial disc technology present cutting-edge
developments in the field.

To enhance the learning experience, two DVDs are included with operative video presenting key techniques discussed in
the book.

For the experienced spine surgeon or for those spine surgeons wishing to expand their practices to include minimally
invasive techniques, this book is a must! No other source provides so much sound, practical advice or such complete
coverage.
