Spinal neurosurgery is among the fastest-growing subspecialties in both neurosurgery and orthopedics. Over the last two decades, new and innovative surgery techniques, equipment, and implants have revolutionized spinal surgery. As the worldwide population continues to age, surgical treatments for degenerative spinal disease will certainly become more popular. This book presents a comprehensive overview of spinal surgery in both developing and developed countries. It includes four sections that address minimally invasive surgical techniques, surgery for congenital spinal disorders, common procedures for spinal and peripheral nerve trauma, and miscellaneous procedures and techniques, like spinal rehabilitation and spinal surgery navigation.
