Description
Authored by experienced surgeons and key innovators in the fast-moving field of LIF surgery, Lumbar Interbody Fusions provides an in-depth, focused approach to recent advances in surgical techniques and technology. Covering both minimally invasive and open procedures, this comprehensive reference provides step-by-step details for proven techniques, including extreme lateral, oblique lateral, and direct lateral approaches; intertransverse approaches; axial approaches; and endoscopic approaches.- Focuses on the technical nuances, pearls and pitfalls of each procedure, as well as complication avoidance and management.- Features high-quality radiographs and intraoperative images for superb visual guidance throughout.- Covers topics that have as-yet unsettled surgical management, such as thoracolumbar and lumbosacral overlap diseases.- Includes a concise review of evidence-based spine literature at the end of each procedural chapter.- Features chapters on adjunct instrumentation such as pedicle screw and facet fixation, as well as graft selection and revision surgeries.
