Each chapter presents detailed technical descriptions supported by high-quality illustrations and operative videos, with practical pearls and pitfalls highlighted to facilitate safe and effective implementation in clinical practice.

Written by internationally recognized experts, the book is intended for spine surgeons ranging from trainees to experienced specialists who wish to incorporate minimally invasive techniques into their surgical practice. It will also be of interest to surgical nurses, medical engineers, radiologic technologists, and other healthcare professionals involved in spinal care.
