The book is published by Thieme, and it gives a comprehensive background on endoscopic spine surgery.

The book covers an unparalleled number of minimally invasive spine procedures that have revolutionized the spine treatment paradigm. Endoscopic technology has advanced to the point where practitioners can now access, visualize, and treat spine pathologies previously only accessible through open surgical approaches. The book contains detailed procedural descriptions and images mirroring endoscopic views spine surgeons encounter in the OR. Organized anatomically, 53 chapters guide readers systematically through lumbar, thoracic, cervical, and craniocervical junction procedures for pathologies ranging from low back pain and deformities to tumors, lesions, infections, and trauma.

The authors have used state-of-the-art technology such as ultrasonic bone dissectors, endoscopic radiofrequency denervation, the video telescope operating monitor (VITOM), minimally invasive tubular retractors, and 3D stereo-tubular endoscopic systems. The book’s key features make it a helpful resource for understanding the field in depth.

More than 1000 high-quality images including color procedural photographs and medical illustrations provide a visual understanding of spinal pathologies and procedures. The book includes 75 videos accessible via the Media Center, from case studies to step-by-step technique tutorials covering the full spectrum of spine endoscopy.

The book is designed to educate, enlighten and encourage the reader to adopt the latest technological advancements in spinal surgery, and readers will greatly benefit from many years of expertise and wisdom shared by master spine surgeons and their expert contributors. Despite the narrow endoscopic view, subtle microanatomical differences in the lumbar, thoracic, and cervical regions are not always easy to visually discern, but the book’s detailed descriptions and images are an excellent resource for overcoming this challenge.
