The Core Procedures Every Spine Surgeon Must Master
New York, NY, June 25, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Like many medical specialties, spine surgery is constantly evolving -- advances are made every 5 years and the field changes significantly every 10 years. Significant investments in research and development for spine surgery have resulted in new surgical techniques supported by new technologies and devices. In this ever-evolving field, few publications explain the exact steps for performing specific procedures so that both the surgeon- in-training can learn and the seasoned spine surgeon can refresh prior to a surgical procedure. There is a great need for a didactic text to clearly explain the steps of the main procedures in modern spine surgery.
"Neurosurgery Tricks of the Trade: Spine and Peripheral Nerves" presents core surgical procedures in a concise and consistent format, enabling spine surgeons to quickly grasp their essence from the bulleted text and superb illustrations that accompany them. In this comprehensive new text, expert neurosurgeons specializing in the spine and peripheral nerves describe how they perform over one hundred common procedures and offer surgical tips and pearls.
Dr. Edward C. Benzel, the author of this book’s foreword, comments:
“'Neurosurgery Tricks of the Trade: Spine and Peripheral Nerves' will make a major contribution to the field of spine and peripheral nerve surgery without question. It represents a hallmark contribution to the spine and peripheral nerve literature and is destined to become the ‘go to’ source for the final word regarding decision making and problem solving.”
Surgeons at all levels, from residents learning procedures to experienced practitioners needing a quick refresher, will find this book and its companion volume, "Neurosurgery Tricks of the Trade: Cranial," to be invaluable resources throughout their surgical careers.
