Handbook of Minimally Invasive and Percutaneous Spine Surgery,
edited by Drs. Wang, Anderson, Ludwig, and Mummaneni, is destined
to become a favorite with all students of spine surgery, whether
residents in training or experienced practitioners. Small enough to
fit in a lab coat pocket, this exceptional manual is just the
resource you need. It will prove invaluable as a quick reference in
daily practice or simply as a refresher when confronting a
difficult clinical problem. This fully illustrated fundamental
guide focuses on procedures and techniques that require minimal
exposure. Presented in a concise and readable format, this text
delivers the basics for those new to minimally invasive surgery as
well as pointers and tips for more advanced surgeons. It is
destined to become a favorite with all students of spine surgery.
Composed of 11 chapters, this practical manual begins with the true
foundation of minimally invasive surgery-imaging. Safe and
effective surgery performed through minimal exposures demands a
thorough mind's-eye understanding of anatomy without visualization.
Moreover, it requires a keen ability to mentally translate
two-dimensional imaging into three-dimensional anatomy. Next, the
most common techniques of cannulation are covered in a logical
step-by-step fashion, just as it is taught in the operating room.
Minimally invasive options for pedicle screw placement are
completed with a chapter describing the mini-open technique. The
second half of this book focuses on fusion and pedicle screw
insertion. Finally, this handbook does not ignore the endpoint of
all these techniques-achieving successful fusion. Techniques to
enhance the success of this outcome are discussed in Chapter 9,
whereas potential complications and methods to avoid them are
outlined in Chapter 8. Each chapter concludes with "Surgical Pearls
and Pitfalls," which provide summaries of the salient points
discussed in the chapter. Unique to this text are highlighted boxes
outlining "Bailouts/Alternative Strategies" for completing the task
when classic techniques fail. Furthermore, each chapter is well
illustrated, with step-by-step images that clearly demonstrate the
points being made. Written by world-recognized minimally invasive
spine surgeons, this handbook provides essential coverage of key
topics.
