“I thoroughly enjoyed reviewing Essentials of Spinal Stabilization and found it to be one of the most useful spine textbooks. … Two strengths of the book in particular are that it discusses different methods and indications for spinal fixation and includes both open and minimally invasive approaches. … The book serves as an excellent overview with pertinent case examples. … All neurosurgery residents should have access to this book for reference throughout their training.” (Juan S. Uribe, Neurosurgery, Vol. 83 (1), August, 2018)
