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.
