Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery A Surgical Manual Second Edition

Description ,review and table of contents of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery A Surgical Manual Second Edition : In the long history of surgery it always has been a basic principle to restrict the iatrogenic trauma done to a patient during surgery to a minimum. Modern surgical technology and techniques have shifted this principle into a new dimension. In spine surgery, the last decade of the twentieth century has been the decade of minimally invasive surgical procedures. The chapters of this book describe in detail the different techniques which are applied to improve symptoms or cure a variety of spinal diseases. They all follow the basic principles of what is more or less a “philosophy” of minimally invasive surgery.
