Significant advances have been made in minimally invasive spine (MIS) surgery approaches, techniques, and innovative technologies. By preserving normal anatomic integrity during spine surgery, MIS approaches enable spine surgeons to achieve improved patient outcomes, including faster return to normal active lifestyles and reduced revision rates. Exposing only the small portion of the spine responsible for symptoms via small ports or channels, requires a deep understanding of spinal anatomy and spinal pathophysiology. Building on the widely acclaimed first edition, An Anatomic Approach to Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery, Second Edition, provides an expanded foundation of knowledge to master minimally invasive spine surgery. World-renowned spine neurosurgeons Mick Perez-Cruet, Richard Fessler, Michael Wang, and a cadre of highly regarded spine surgery experts provide masterful tutorials on an impressive array of cutting-edge technologies. Organized by seven sections and 51 chapters, the book presents a diverse spectrum of current safe and efficacious MIS procedures and future innovations. Nonsurgical approaches include injection-based spine procedures and stereotactic radiosurgery. Surgical technique chapters discuss MIS anterior, posterior, and lateral approaches to the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, with procedures such as endoscopic microdiscectomy, vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, percutaneous instrumentation, and robotic spine surgery. Key Features Step-by-step illustrations, including more than 400 depictions by master surgical and anatomic illustrator Anthony Pazos portray the surgeon's-eye-view of anatomy, intraoperative images, and surgical instruments, thereby aiding in the understanding of anatomy and procedures 20 online videos feature real-time operative fluoroscopy, pertinent anatomy, operative set-up, and common cervical, thoracic, and lumbar approaches Discussion of novel MIS techniques reflected in 16 new or expanded chapters, including Robotic Assisted Thoracic Spine Surgery and Stem-Cell Based Intervertebral Disc Restoration There is truly no better clinical reward for spine surgeons than giving patients suffering from debilitating spinal disorders their life back. This quintessential MIS surgery resource will help surgeons and clinicians accomplish that goal.

Download or read book Update in Minimally Invasive Spine mis Surgery written by James D. Bruffey and published by . This book was released on 2011-06-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new reference text: Update in Minimally Invasive Spine (MIS) Surgery: Clinical Examples of Anatomy, Indications, and Surgical Techniques, the editors attempt to give the reader a snapshot of this fast-moving field by discussing topics of applied clinical spinal anatomy, clinical indications and outcomes for MIS surgery, instrumentation and biomechanics, adjacent level disease, and fusion biology as well as management of clinical complications and strategies for revision surgeries.In the past spinal fusion meant long incisions, significant blood loss, prolonged hospitalization and recovery, along with persistent pain, less mobility, and limited return to function. Recently, however, less-traumatizing techniques have found their way into mainstream spinal surgery and are being increasingly accepted as alternatives to traditional open procedures. These new concepts of minimally invasive techniques have emerged and are withstanding the test of time. Consequently, there is increasing interest among spine surgeons to apply MIS approaches to common clinical problems.Examples of these new trends include: advanced endoscopic and percutaneous techniques to remove a herniated disc, treat spinal stenosis, debride spinal infections, and the emergence of percutaneous adjunctive procedures to spinal fusion. Other advances include percutaneous pedicle screw application instead of open screw placement and minimal invasive decompressions through small, percutaneously placed tubes instead of open, wide laminectomy procedures through large incisions. In addition, minimally invasive techniques are now aided by computerized navigation systems. Moreover, advances in osteobiologics have increasingly obviated the need for autologous bone graft harvest, which has greatly enhanced the benefits of minimally invasive spinal surgery.On the other hand, complications have been reported with the routine use of MIS techniques, such as transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) through small access portal or direct lumbar interbody fusion (DLIF) through a mini-direct, lateral access. In other words, the field of minimally invasive spinal surgery continues to emerge and is expected to change rapidly as new technologies surface. We have, therefore, taken a multidisciplinary approach by representing aspects ranging from anatomy, biomechanics and biologics, to surgical techniques and clinical outcome research with respect to state-of-the art technologies as well as biomaterials in reconstructive procedures of the spine. Chapters are focused on the description of the clinical indications, surgical techniques, and clinical outcome assessments by discussing standards in analytical methodology and quality control. Specific clinical examples are at the heart of this new reference text to illustrate the development of new devices and materials capable of improving minimally invasive spinal surgery.We hope you find this text to be a valuable update in the discussion of MIS techniques in spinal surgery.
