Reviews

From the reviews: Spine surgery has evolved significantly over the past 40 years. ! This book explores the concept further and provides a practical guide. ! Neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons are the intended readers. ! This is a good book on the anatomy, basic concepts, and techniques of minimally invasive spine surgery. It should belong to neurosciences libraries and practices involved in spine surgery. (Celso Agner, Doody's Review Service, April, 2010)
