Arthroscopic and Endoscopic Spinal Surgery: Text and Atlas

This authoritative and highly illustrated guide to arthoscopic and endoscopic surgery describes and illustrates state-of-the-art techniques and approaches that are currently used for the treatment of painful spine pathologies and the prevention of postsurgical failed back syndrome. The authors demonstrate step-by-step how minimally invasive techniques are performed in spinal surgery and how anatomical structures appearing through an endoscope can help in the diagnosis and recognition of various anatomical structures of the spine. An accompanying DVD shows actual surgical procedures performed during arthroscopic and endoscopic microdiscectomy and arthroscopic interbody fusion using percutaneous pedicular fixators.
