Endoscopic Spine Surgery-2판

Endoscopic technology has advanced to the point where practitioners can now access, visualize, and treat spine
pathologies previously only accessible through open surgical approaches. Endoscopic Spine Surgery 2nd Edition provides
a comprehensive background on endoscopic spine surgery and covers an unparalleled number of minimally invasive spine
procedures that have revolutionized the spine treatment paradigm. Readers will greatly benefit from many years of
expertise and wisdom shared by master spine surgeons Daniel Kim, Gun Choi, Sang-Ho Lee, and Richard Fessler, and their
expert contributors.

Due to the narrow endoscopic view, subtle microanatomical differences in the lumbar, thoracic, and cervical regions
are not always easy to visually discern. To address this challenge, the book contains detailed procedural descriptions
and images mirroring endoscopic views spine surgeons encounter in the OR. Organized anatomically, 53 chapters guide
readers systematically through lumbar, thoracic, cervical, and craniocervical junction procedures for pathologies
ranging from low back pain and deformities to tumors, lesions, infections, and trauma.
