Full Description
Comprehensive surgical techniques and insights to inform management of cervical spine disorders
Cervical spine surgery requires a deep understanding of the region's bony, ligamentous, vascular, and neural anatomy and biomechanics, combined with the artistry and precision of a master craftsman. Cervical Spine Surgery: Principles and Techniques, edited by Ali A. Baaj, Khoi D. Than, Alan H. Daniels, Ganesh M. Shankar, and Saleh S. Baeesa, serves as a leading source of knowledge in this ever-evolving and challenging subspeciality. Throughout the book, an impressive group of pioneering surgeons share their invaluable experience, innovative techniques, and cutting-edge research, providing readers with an unparalleled resource to help improve patient outcomes.
The book features 40 chapters organized into four sections, starting with anatomy, biomechanics, anesthetics, and neuromonitoring. In the second section, 15 chapters cover traumatic, degenerative, congenital, malignant, vascular, and infectious diseases. Throughout the third section, contributors provide step-by-step guidance on how to perform diverse cervical spine surgeries. The final section summarizes minimally invasive approaches, endoscopy, navigation and robotics, and emerging technologies such as AI.
