Minimally Invasive Thoracic Spine
Surgery by Sang-Hyeop Jeon, Junseok
Bae, Sang-Ho Lee
This book
describes and illustrates a variety
of minimally invasive approaches to
the thoracic spine, covering
procedures applicable in not only
degenerative diseases but also
deformities and trauma. Surgery to
the thoracic spine is demanding
because of the surrounding ribs,
lungs, heart, and large blood
vessels and the challenges posed by
the vulnerable spinal cord within a
relatively small spinal canal.
Consequently, postsurgical morbidity
is often high. In this context,
minimally invasive surgery offers
significant benefits, but to date,
comprehensive coverage in textbooks
is lacking owing to the limited
experience in the use of minimally
invasive surgical techniques. This
book will be ideal for all who are
searching for clear guidance that is
faithful to the established
principles of spine surgery and
evidence-based medicine. In addition
to the comprehensive coverage of
procedures appropriate in different
pathologies, including thoracic disc
herniation, ossification of the
posterior longitudinal ligament,
ossification of the ligamentum
flavum, and stenosis, individual
chapters address the transforaminal
endoscopic approach, interventional
treatment, intraoperative
neuromonitoring, and navigation for
thoracic spine surgery.
