About the book

In the last two decades, minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) has evolved from a niche domain to mainstream surgical technique.

This book describes different techniques to cure a variety of spinal diseases using minimally invasive approaches. It offers discussion on important spine surgery procedures that can be performed with minimal exposure using step-by-step methods. It broadly covers the surgical treatment of spinal diseases extending from the craniovertebral junction to the sacral region, and includes degenerative diseases, trauma, tumours and infections.

Advanced concepts including spine deformity correction, the O-arm guided technique and robotic spine surgery are aptly covered in the book. Numerous diagrams and operative photographs are provided to describe the essential steps of surgery. The detailed review of literature and technical pearls will help practitioners in better understanding of the concepts. The anatomy of relevant spine regions and pictorial description will help readers in navigating around obstacles and in preventing surgical complications during surgery.

The chapters have been written by eminent national and international spine surgeons with extensive academic and research experience.

This book will help young spine surgeons in imbibing the principles and techniques of endoscopic spine surgery and minimally invasive methods of spinal fusion.
