society through political theory and a consideration of
contemporary debates in both Britain and the US. She sets out a new

difference and autonomy.
Angie Sandhu examines the relation between intellectuals and
society by examining this question in political theory. She
critically engages with contemporary debates on the subject both in
Britain and the U.S. drawing on a wide range of material.

in society by challenging notions of intellectual difference and
autonomy.
With an emphasis on set-up and execution and lessons learned from
expert practitioners, this concise, practical guide for residents
and fellows presents the essentials for both common and complex
spine surgery. Proceeding anatomically from the cervical to the
sacroiliac, and including chapters on spinal tumors, infection and
revision surgery, nearly 40 different procedures are highlighted,
from corpectomy, arthroplasty and laminectomy to percutaneous
screws, decompression and fusion. Chapters include all the
information a resident will need to know: indications and
contraindications, imaging and diagnosis, OR set-up and
instrumentation selection, the specific operative technique,
post-operative protocols, and clinical pearls and pitfalls.
Radiographs and full-color intraoperative photographs accompany
each procedure. Whether suturing dura or performing a lateral
interbody fusion, spinal surgery is a technical pursuit, and having
a firm grasp of the details can ultimately determine the
procedure's success. Written and edited by veterans in orthopedic
surgery and neurosurgery, The Resident's Guide to Spine Surgery is
just the detailed, user-friendly resource for up-and-coming
clinicians looking to develop and expand their surgical expertise.
Master spine surgeons Alexander R. Vaccaro, Richard G. Fessler, and
a cadre of esteemed co-editors have compiled the most comprehensive
textbook to date detailing minimally invasive spine (MIS) versus
open spine surgery techniques. Controversies in Spine Surgery, MIS
versus OPEN: Best Evidence Recommendations features debates by
renowned experts on one of the most provocative topics in spine
surgery. Twenty-four chapters systematically organized into four
sections - degenerative, trauma, tumor, and other issues, cover
procedures and underlying pathologies, backed by a large, diverse
body of literature. MIS and open approaches are thoroughly compared
and contrasted in each chapter. Evidence is presented and analyzed
in an objective manner with 'opposing sides' presenting differing
opinions and techniques, resulting in a synchronous collection of
pros and cons. Every chapter is masterfully summed up by the book's
editors - each of whom have varying stances on the topics at hand.
This unique 'duel' and 'duet' discussion enables readers to
assimilate information, benefit from the balanced harmony between
divergent opinions, and reach their own conclusions. Key Highlights
Comparative risks, benefits, complications, and outcomes for a full
spectrum of lumbar, thoracic and cervical procedures MIS versus
open approaches for lumbar stenosis, synovial cysts, lumbar
adjacent segment degeneration, degenerative scoliosis, flatback
syndrome, thoracic disc herniation, and dural tears Tumor resection
and stabilization, quality of life issues, and potential advantages
and risks of MIS techniques Key differences in MIS versus open
operations such as radiation exposure and costs Analysis of 3-D
navigational imaging to improve outcomes and reduce radiation
exposure and operating time This book is a tremendous,
evidence-based tool to guide spine surgeons as they make important
decisions on selecting the most optimal spine surgery techniques.
It is a must-have resource for all resident and veteran orthopaedic
surgeons and neurosurgeons who specialize in treating patients with
spine conditions.
