    • Summary:This new edition contains chapters on very complicated, large procedures such as the approaches to the sacrum and the pelvis, and also includes minimally invasive procedures like laparoscopic fusion. Minimally invasive surgery is the future of spinal surgery; this book is unrivaled in its coverage of these procedures. This edition also continues the tradition of presenting clearly enumerated and illustrated step-by-step surgical procedures for the spine. New to this edition are chapters on the anterior approach to clivus C1 & C2, transclavicular cervico-thoracic approach, transsternal approach to the cervico thoracic & upper thoracic spine, approaches to the sacrum & pelvis, and laparoscopic approaches. Other new features include: new material on large major resection of spinal cancer; the most modern endoscopic techniques ; and expanded laproscopic/MIS approaches. Contributors are top authorities in the field. Procedures are beautifully illustrated in full color.
