An additional section is devoted to related surgical concepts and principles such as spinal biomechanics, computer image guidance, and deformity surgery. Each chapter has a uniform design including background, indications, patient selection, preoperative considerations, surgical technique, technical pearls, and strategies for complication avoidance. Preoperative and postoperative images and/or illustrations are utilized to highlight the presented information.

"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)
