Abstract: This book accentuates the anatomies involved in spine surgery techniques, from the base of the skull down to the sacrum and the sacroiliac joint. It includes extensive illustrations that cover all major spine surgeries. It also discusses the instrumentations used with different operative approaches. The book features high-resolution pictures of operative dissection, cadaveric specimens, and intraoperative imaging that clearly illustrate the relevant anatomy of various spine surgery procedures, allowing surgeons to "reconstruct" a three-dimensional anatomical view when performing the surgery. As such, it is a valuable reference resource for spine surgeons. Editors Jian-Gang Shi and Wen Yuan are professors at the department of orthopaedics, Changzheng Hospital, Second Military Medical University, Shanghai, China. Editor Jing-Chuan Sun is a surgeon at the same department.

Contents: Surgical anatomy of the upper cervical spine surgery -- Surgical anatomy of the lower cervical spine surgery -- Surgical anatomy of the thoracic spine surgery -- Surgical anatomy of the lumbar spine surgery -- Surgical anatomy of the sacral spine surgery.

Abstract: This Atlas is the first reference Atlas covering exclusively all aspects of this multifaceted topic. It is designed to serve as a succinct appropriate resource for neurosurgeons, spinal surgeons, radiologists, neurologists, microbiologists, researchers and infectious disease specialists with an interest in cranio-cerebral and vertebro-medullary infections especially encountered in neurosurgery and spinal surgery. This Atlas is designed to deliver more information in less space than traditional texts, allowing for quick review of the essential facts of this complex infectious topic through pictures. Pertinent imaging and laboratory information are combined with intraoperative photographs and illustrations to help readers visualize variable presentations and enhance their perioperative management. The comprehensive content of this richly-illustrated book covers different infectious diseases seen on neurosurgical and spinal practices. The Atlas is divided into five sections, after a general introduction, the second section focuses on infections of the brain and its coverings. The third section focuses on vertebromedullary infections. The fourth section includes infections following cranial and spinal surgery, and the fifth section provides a description of the most important specific pathogens and other particular conditions. The format makes it easily accessible and includes a definition of each infection and its epidemiology, main clinical presentations, imaging features and laboratory findings, treatment options, and prognosis information. It will help the reader in choosing the most appropriate way to manage this multipart problem. In addition, the book supplies clinicians and investigators with both basic and more sophisticated information and procedures relating to the complications associated with neurosurgical and spinal infections.

Contents: Classification and Sources of Infections -- Laboratory Collections and Sample Processing -- Scalp Abscesses -- Cranial Osteomyelitis -- Cranial Epidural Abscesses -- Cranial Subdural Empyemas -- Post-Traumatic Meningitis -- Brain Abscesses -- Infectious Encephalitis -- Pyogenic Ventriculitis -- Pituitary Abscesses -- Orbital Abscesses -- Mucopyoceles -- Pott's Puffy Tumors -- Intracranial Infectious Aneurysms -- Paraspinal Pyomyositis -- Vertebral Body and Discal Infections -- Spinal Epidural Abscesses -- Spinal Subdural Abscesses -- Spinal Cord Abscesses -- Surgical Site Infections in Cranial Surgery -- Surgical Site Infections in Spinal Surgery -- Brain Tuberculomas -- Spinal Tuberculosis -- Neurocysticercosis -- Brain Hydatid Disease -- Spinal Hydatid Disease -- Other Parasitic Infections of the Central Nervous System -- Fungal Infections of the Central Nervous System -- Central Nervous System Infections in HIV Patients.

Abstract: This handbook is the most authoritative and up-to-date reference on spine technology written for practitioners, researchers, and students in bioengineering and clinical medicine. It is the first resource to provide a road map of both the history of the field and its future by documenting the poor clinical outcomes and failed spinal implants that contributed to problematic patient outcomes, as well as the technologies that are currently leading the way towards positive clinical outcomes. The contributors are leading authorities in the fields of engineering and clinical medicine and represent academia, industry, and international government and regulatory agencies. The chapters are split into five sections, with the first addressing clinical issues such as anatomy, pathology, oncology, trauma, diagnosis, and imaging studies. The second section, on biomechanics, delves into fixation devices, the bone implant interface, total disc replacements, injury mechanics, and more. The last three sections, on technology, are divided into materials, commercialized products, and surgery. All appropriate chapters will be continually updated and available on the publisher’s website, in order to keep this important reference as up-to-date as possible in a fast-moving field.

Contents: Adjacent-Level Disease: Fact and Fiction -- Allograft Use in Modern Spinal Surgery -- Cervical Total Disc Replacement: Biomechanics - Cervical Total Disc Replacement: Expanded Indications -- Cervical Total Disc Replacement: Technique – Pitfalls and Pearls -- Implant Material Bio-compatibility, Sensitivity, and Allergic Reactions -- Low Back Patterns of Pain: Classification Based on Clinical Presentation -- Lumbar TDR Revision Strategies -- Replacing the Nucleus Pulposus for Degenerative Disc Disease and Disc Herniation: Disc Preservation Following Discectomy -- Spinal Fusion Evaluation in Various Settings: A Summary of Human-Only Studies.

Abstract: This well-illustrated textbook is the first comprehensive and authoritative source of information on minimally invasive lateral access spine surgery. It covers all aspects of the subject, including patient selection, approach and monitoring techniques, soft tissue management, application in a variety of pathologies, technical nuances, and the prevention and management of complications. In addition, current controversies in the field are discussed and the biomechanics of lateral spinal reconstruction, the physiologic benefits, and cost implications are explained. Over the past decade, the emergence of minimally invasive lateral access spine surgery has created a revolution in spine treatment. This trend began with the introduction of extreme lateral interbody fusion, a totally new spinal procedure. In recent years, the conversion of more than 15% of lumbar spinal fusion procedures to a lateral approach has been due to the unique advantages of this approach over conventional anterior or posterior surgery. All major purveyors of spinal products and implants have entered this market enthusiastically, and all major spinal societies now conduct annual cadaveric and didactic courses to teach the technique. As use of the lateral approach in spinal surgery has become more popular, so its diversity and complexity have increased. Nevertheless, coverage in the literature is typically limited to single chapters, and the spinal surgeon seeking to achieve optimal results must rely on chance discussions with colleagues at meetings to learn the latest information. Lateral Access Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery is designed to fill this vacuum. Written by world experts on the topic, it will be an excellent resource for both beginning and experienced surgeons.
