Download or read book 50 Landmark Papers Every Spine Surgeon Should Know written by Alexander R. Vaccaro, MD, PhD, MBA and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been an exponential increase in the volume and quality of published research relating to spine care over the last several decades. Among thousands of articles, a small fraction has been shown to be truly "game changing," forcing the entire field to pause and take notice. These landmark studies may describe a new procedure or surgical approach, evaluate the relative effects of known treatments or techniques, introduce a new classification system, or provide new insights into natural history or disease prognosis. Such studies form the foundations of spine surgery today.This book will be a useful reference not only to the established spine surgeon, but also to neurosurgery and orthopedic residents, as well as to spine surgery fellows as they continue to fortify their knowledge surrounding spinal disorders. Further, this will no doubt serve as a useful evidence-based resource for trainees studying for professional examinations and perhaps most importantly challenge and inspire clinicians to produce high-quality impactful research.

Book excerpt: BLOODLESS SPINE SURGERY; PICTURES & EXPLANATIONS by KENNETH K. HANSRAJ, M.D. is an illustrated book to help the general public understand the basic concepts of herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis and scoliosis. Diagnosis, and treatment of these spinal problems are fully explained.This manuscript presents a comprehensive preparation of a patient for bloodless spine surgery, techniques for diminishing blood loss in the operating room, postoperative considerations, and includes case reports of patients who have undergone surgery using the blood management methods outlined.Special emphasis is placed on Jehovah?s witnesses. Typically, patients of this religion do not accept transfusion s of whole blood, packed cells, white blood cells, platelets, or plasma or auto transfusion of predeposited blood. Some witnesses may permit infusion of albumin, clotting factor solutions, or dextran or other plasma expanders and intraoperative auto transfusion, done under closed loop technique. Even though a transfusion may be necessary to save a patient?s life, the administration of blood and/or blood products in the face of refusal after informed consent can be legally considered a violation of a patient?s right to control what is done to his or her body.Digital images and illustrations are incorporated throughout the book to show important concepts, and a dictionary is provided to thoroughly explain the important factors in bloodless surgery. An effort was made to ensure that the information is provided for readers who come from a non-medical background, with adherence to the basics.

It is destined to become a favorite with all students of spine surgery. Composed of 11 chapters, this practical manual begins with the true foundation of minimally invasive surgery—imaging. Safe and effective surgery performed through minimal exposures demands a thorough mind’s-eye understanding of anatomy without visualization. Moreover, it requires a keen ability to mentally translate two-dimensional imaging into three-dimensional anatomy. Next, the most common techniques of cannulation are covered in a logical step-by-step fashion, just as it is taught in the operating room. Minimally invasive options for pedicle screw placement are completed with a chapter describing the mini-open technique. The second half of this book focuses on fusion and pedicle screw insertion. Finally, this handbook does not ignore the endpoint of all these techniques—achieving successful fusion. Techniques to enhance the success of this outcome are discussed in Chapter 9, whereas potential complications and methods to avoid them are outlined in Chapter 8. Each chapter concludes with "Surgical Pearls and Pitfalls," which provide summaries of the salient points discussed in the chapter. Unique to this text are highlighted boxes outlining "Bailouts/Alternative Strategies" for completing the task when classic techniques fail. Furthermore, each chapter is well illustrated, with step-by-step images that clearly demonstrate the points being made.
