Endoscopic technology has advanced to the point where practitioners can now access, visualize, and treat spine pathologies previously only accessible through open surgical approaches. Endoscopic Spine Surgery 2nd Edition provides a comprehensive background on endoscopic spine surgery and covers an unparalleled number of minimally invasive spine procedures that have revolutionized the spine treatment paradigm. Readers will greatly benefit from many years of expertise and wisdom shared by master spine surgeons Daniel Kim, Gun Choi, Sang-Ho Lee, and Richard Fessler, and their expert contributors.Due to the narrow endoscopic view, subtle microanatomical differences in the lumbar, thoracic, and cervical regions are not always easy to visually discern. To address this challenge, the book contains detailed procedural descriptions and images mirroring endoscopic views spine surgeons encounter in the OR. Organized anatomically, 53 chapters guide readers systematically through lumbar, thoracic, cervical, and craniocervical junction procedures for pathologies ranging from low back pain and deformities to tumors, lesions, infections, and trauma.Key Features More than 1000 high quality images including color procedural photographs and medical illustrations provide in-depth visual understanding.Spinal pathologies and procedures delineated in 75 videos accessible via the Media Center - from case studies to step-by-step technique tutorials.Covers the full spectrum of spine endoscopy including percutaneous approaches, microdiscectomy, laminectomy, discectomy foraminotomy, hemilaminectomy, thoracic decompressions, fusion, fixation, and thoracoscopic procedures.The use of state-of-the-art technology such as ultrasonic bone dissectors, endoscopic radiofrequency denervation, the video telescope operating monitor (VITOM), minimally invasive tubular retractors, and 3D stereo-tubular endoscopic systems.Neurosurgical and orthopaedic residents, spine fellows, and seasoned spine surgeons will all greatly benefit from the significant knowledge and insights revealed in this remarkable multimedia resource. This book may also be of interest to neurosurgical and orthopaedic nurses, physical therapists, chiropractors, and medical device professionals.

Endoscopic Spinal Surgery provides a comprehensive, practical and timely review of the minimally invasive endoscopic surgical techniques used to treat conditions of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine.Recent advances in technology, together with improved clinical outcomes, have established percutaneous endoscopic spinal procedures as alternatives to traditional open spinal surgery. This text describes the most effective endoscopic techniques currently available and discusses indications, surgical approaches, complications, and clinical outcomes. An authoritative, international team of contributors provides surgical insight and expert guidance.Provides a definitive ‘go to’ reference for spinal surgeons, orthopaedic surgeons and neurosurgeonsGives expert guidance on the full range of minimally invasive endoscopic techniques used in the management of spinal disorders, in chapters organized by spinal sectionIncludes general chapters on instrumentation, relevant neuroanatomy, and anesthetic considerationsDedicates a chapter to classification and coding issues

This book describes and illustrates a variety of minimally invasive approaches to the thoracic spine, covering procedures applicable in not only degenerative diseases but also deformities and trauma.

This book describes and illustrates state-of-the-art techniques in laser spine surgery. Nevertheless, the application of laser in the context of spinal surgery remains less well known, and the aim of this book is to present practical usage of laser in spine surgery to our readers.

Endoscopic spine surgery is the essence of the minimally invasive surgery technique. The main purpose of this book is to provide the essence of endoscopy to date, based on actual video images and practical techniques of transforaminal endoscopy accumulated over decades.
