Atlas of Neurosurgical Techniques: Spine and Peripheral Nerves
Originally published in 2006, the second edition of this
award-winning neurosurgical atlas is written by a notable cadre of
world-renowned spine surgeons. Reflecting the enormous depth and
breadth of spine surgery, this volume has been completely updated
with current, state-of-the-art surgical methodologies and minimally
invasive options. Pathologies include degenerative changes,
congenital abnormalities, rheumatic diseases, tumors, and trauma.
The authors have divided the book into six consistent sections:
occipital-cervical, midcervical spine, cervicothoracic junction,
thoracic and thoracolumbar spine, lumbar and lumbosacral spine, and
peripheral nerve. Within each section, the opening chapters cover
comprehensive discussion of pathology, etiology, and differential
diagnosis. Succeeding chapters present step-by-step surgical
techniques encompassing anterior, anterolateral, posterior, and
posterolateral approaches, separately and in sequence. Minimally
invasive techniques and peripheral nerve procedures, including the
brachial plexus, lumbosacral plexus, and individual nerves are
covered independently, following the same organization. Key
Highlights: Clearly delineated indications, contraindications,
advantages, and disadvantages provided for each surgery Operations
with same opening and closing technique covered just once, thereby
minimizing redundancy Beautifully illustrated with more than 1,000
images Video compendium created by master surgeons provides
up-close guidance on a wide array of surgical procedures Ideal for
both the busy practitioner seeking review and resident looking for
robust study materials This book is an incomparable learning tool
for residents, who will likely read it several times during the
course of residency. A precisely edited, didactic atlas,
neurosurgeons and orthopaedic surgeons will also find it an
invaluable resource.
