Rezensionen

From the reviews of the second edition:

The book covers almost all commonly used minimally invasive surgical procedures. The first section deals with the microscope and operating room setup. Challenging procedures of the cervical spine include a detailed technique for treating the odontoid fracture, microsurgical total cervical disc replacement, and microsurgical stabilization of C1-2 fusion. Microsurgical approaches and endoscopic principles are very well covered for the thoracic and lumbar spine. A section on disc reconstruction describes cutting-edge procedures such as autologous chondrocyte transplantation and nucleus pulposus replacement. Spinal stenosis, spinal fusions, and dynamic stabilizations are described in detail. The

book is well illustrated and referenced by the authors. Photos showing the position of the patient on the operating table are most useful....This is perhaps the best book written on the subject. I very highly recommend it to all spine surgeons and orthopedic and neurosurgical trainees. (5 Stars Doody's review by Edward Abraham)

"This is an excellent book! Edited by H. Michael Mayer, it is a multiauthor mix of European, American, Swiss and Australian, but predominantly German and North American current and cutting edge spinal practice. It is remarkable that in less than 500 pages ... the entirety of spinal surgery from trans-oral odontoidectomy to low lumbar dynamic stabilisation can be summarised so eloquently and comprehensively. ... this book should be essential reading for every spinal surgeon and occupy a prominent place in every departmental library." (Barrie D. White, Acta Neurochirurgica, Vol. 148 (6), 2006)
