Surgery of the Lumbar Spine: Principles and Techniques
 

Surgery of the lumbar spine is one of the most common operations in neurosurgery and orthopedic spine surgery. This new text presents the current principles and techniques of lumbar spine surgery, including pathology, biomechanics, cutting-edge techniques in navigation and robotics, augmented and virtual reality, and much more. Comprehensive yet practical, it covers the most common pathologies and their surgeries instead of focusing just on one disease, providing a deep dive into diagnoses, treatments, as well as surgical and non-surgical management strategies. Discussed here are traditional, core topics like degenerative disease, trauma and oncology, with new and innovative topics like minimally invasive spine surgery, endoscopy and robotic spine surgery included for a well-rounded presentation. Radiographs and interoperative photos enhance the text.
Leveraging the expertise of thought leaders in neurosurgery, orthopedic spine surgery, and other related disciplines, this will be an excellent resource for practitioners at all levels.
