Add to basketThis book provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary minimally invasive spine surgery (MIS), covering both established and emerging surgical techniques and technologies that are shaping modern spinal practice.
The volume is organized into thematic sections addressing lumbar endoscopic decompression and fusion, thoracic and cervical endoscopic procedures, minimally invasive fusion strategies including MIS-TLIF and lateral approaches, and anterior spinal techniques. In addition, the book examines enabling technologies such as spinal navigation, robotics, augmented/virtual/mixed reality (AR/VR/MR), and artificial intelligence applications in spine surgery.
Each chapter presents detailed technical descriptions supported by high-quality illustrations and operative videos, with practical pearls and pitfalls highlighted to facilitate safe and effective implementation in clinical practice.
Written by internationally recognized experts, the book is intended for spine surgeons ranging from trainees to experienced specialists who wish to incorporate minimally invasive techniques into their surgical practice. It will also be of interest to surgical nurses, medical engineers, radiologic technologists, and other healthcare professionals involved in spinal care.
By integrating current surgical concepts with practical operative guidance, Textbook of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery: Concepts and Surgical Techniques serves as a valuable reference for contemporary minimally invasive spinal surgery.
