Minimally Invasive Spinal Deformity Surgery cover

This book provides a comprehensive guide to minimally invasive techniques for spinal deformity surgery, addressing unique challenges faced by surgeons in this evolving field.

In recent years, the field of spinal surgery has evolved significantly, with contemporary orthopedic and neurosurgeons increasingly embracing minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) as a preferred approach for managing advanced degenerative diseases. The techniques associated with MISS are designed to reduce blood loss, minimize surgical site pain, and expedite recovery times for patients. As such, the integration of MISS with adult spinal deformity surgery has emerged as a logical progression, offering new hope and improved outcomes for those suffering from complex spinal conditions.

Minimally Invasive Spinal Deformity Surgery addresses the pressing need for a comprehensive guide in this relatively young field. While many surgeons are aware of the benefits of MISS, they often encounter unique challenges when applying these techniques to spinal deformities. This book aims to bridge that gap by providing valuable insights into the latest methodologies, technologies, and educational resources necessary for surgeons to confidently navigate this evolving landscape of spinal surgery.

As MISS deformity surgeries become more commonplace, it is essential for practitioners to stay informed about the best practices and innovations in the field. This book serves as an essential resource for both seasoned surgeons and those new to the discipline, ensuring that they are well-equipped to meet the demands of their patients and the complexities of spinal deformity surgery. By highlighting the intersection of MISS and spinal deformities, Minimally Invasive Spinal Deformity Surgery contributes to the ongoing development of safer and more effective surgical techniques.

“It is a good reference guide for common MIS techniques that are routinely being applied to deformity surgery. … this book provides an excellent roadmap not only to what techniques exist but also to how the spine community should go about its evaluation.” (Alfred T. Ogden, Neurosurgery, Vol. 76 (6), June, 2015)

“Chapters describe concisely the technique, its indications and complications illustrated with intraoperative pictures or well drawn illustrations. … the book is a valuable completion of the library of each practising spinal surgeon, spine fellow, and senior resident, since several minimal invasive spinal operative techniques and radiological concepts are concisely described.” (Ronald Bartels, Acta Neurochirurgica, Vol. 157, January, 2015)
