There has been an exponential increase in the volume and quality of
published research relating to spine care over the last several
decades. Among thousands of articles, a small fraction has been
shown to be truly "game changing," forcing the entire field to
pause and take notice. These landmark studies may describe a new
procedure or surgical approach, evaluate the relative effects of
known treatments or techniques, introduce a new classification
system, or provide new insights into natural history or disease
prognosis. Such studies form the foundations of spine surgery
today.This book will be a useful reference not only to the
established spine surgeon, but also to neurosurgery and orthopedic
residents, as well as to spine surgery fellows as they continue to
fortify their knowledge surrounding spinal disorders. Further, this
will no doubt serve as a useful evidence-based resource for
trainees studying for professional examinations and perhaps most
importantly challenge and inspire clinicians to produce
high-quality impactful research.

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.
A unique how-to guide for spine surgeons on state-of-the-art
computer-assisted navigation and robotic surgery techniques The
past decade has seen major advances in image-guided spine surgery
techniques, with robotically assisted approaches emerging in the
last five years. While early adopters of this technology paved the
way for more widespread use of navigated and robotic systems,
barriers still exist. Navigation and Robotics in Spine Surgery by
master spine surgeon Alexander Vaccaro and esteemed co-editors
Jaykar Panchmatia, I. David Kaye, and Srinivas Prasad addresses
existing issues such as the perception of increased upfront costs,
intrusion on current workflow, and a lack of understanding about
the potential ways these technologies can enhance the surgical
experience and improve patient outcomes. Organized into six
sections, the book starts with evidence-based fundamentals of
navigated spine surgery and robotics including discussion of
instrumentation and mechanics. Sections 2-5 serve as a surgical
handbook for spine surgeons who wish to introduce these
technologies into practice or augment their current repertoire with
more complex techniques. Topics range from more routine procedures
such as navigated and robotic minimally invasive TLIF to complex
approaches like intraoperative ultrasound guided intradural spinal
tumor resection. The final section looks at future directions and
potential new applications for these technologies. Key Highlights
An impressive group of international spine surgeons who pioneered
navigation and robotic surgery techniques share invaluable tricks
of the trade Discussion of fluoroscopy- and intraoperative CT-based
platforms, applications for intraoperative sonography, and
radiation exposure and minimization strategies Special topics
include OR set-up and workflow, surmounting the learning curve,
artificial intelligence, and lessons learned from other industries
Procedural videos demonstrate the benefits of computer-assisted
navigation and robotic techniques This book is essential reading
for orthopaedic surgery and neurosurgery residents and spine
fellows who wish to learn about and incorporate these technologies
into practice. Seasoned spine surgeons seeking to expand the scope
of their navigated/robotic practice will benefit from chapters
detailing advanced approaches. This book includes complimentary
access to a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.

In the last two decades, spine instrumentation and surgery have
undergone many improvements. The second edition benefits from
contributions by renowned orthopaedic surgeons and neurosurgeons
who helped create and refine the systems described in the book, and
devoted their careers to educating next generations of spine
surgeons. Advancements in instrumentation - plates, cages, rods,
screws, disc replacements, spacers, and fusion devices - have led
to improved outcomes for patients. The spinal device field has
grown exponentially, and surgeons are faced with an increasingly
diverse choice of instrumentation options. While the first edition
categorized available systems, the new edition is focused on
helping clinicians avoid complications and quickly recognize and
manage complications when they do occur. Key Features A concise yet
comprehensive reference that educates clinicians on the causes,
recognition, and avoidance of instrumentation complications
Organized by anatomical region and condition, the visualization of
relevant anatomical landmarks is discussed in context with safe use
of spinal instrumentation Now four-color, with more than 230 new
and original illustrations Easy-to-digest text helps translate
classroom knowledge into clinical application This up-to-date book
will help orthopaedic surgeons and neurosurgeons learn how to
utilize spinal devices more efficaciously and safely. The text is
also an excellent reference for radiologists, spine fellows and
residents, and physician extenders who are interested in attaining
knowledge and experience in spinal instrumentation.
