A video-rich guide to cutting-edge endoscopic spine surgery techniques from international experts
Endoscopic spine surgery has entered an era that is not only minimally invasive, but also intelligent, robotic, and immersive. Video Atlas of Endoscopic Spine Surgery and Procedures reflects continued growth in this field, while building on the legacy of Endoscopic Spine Procedures, first published in 2011.
The new book offers a comprehensive and practical resource that is both a snapshot of current best practices and a preview of what lies ahead. Readers will greatly benefit from many years of expertise and wisdom shared by master spine surgeons Daniel Kim, Gun Choi, Jin-Sung Kim, Dae-Jung Choi, Richard G. Fessler, and a cadre of esteemed international contributors.
Due to the narrow endoscopic view, subtle microanatomical differences in the lumbar, thoracic, and cervical regions are not always easy to visually discern. To address this challenge, the book features 136 videos, detailed procedural descriptions, and images mirroring endoscopic views spine surgeons encounter in the operating room. Organized anatomically, 89 chapters guide readers systematically through lumbar, thoracic, cervical, and craniocervical junction procedures for pathologies ranging from low back pain and deformities to tumors, lesions, infections, and trauma.
