The Primer offers a treasure trove of 3D illustrations and animations that virtually brings the aspiring minimally invasive spine surgeon into the operating room alongside their professor. The text starts with a discussion of open spine surgery versus minimally invasive procedures and the optimal mindset required to convert from one to the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into lumbar, cervical, and thoracic spine sections, and a fourth section dedicated to the fundamentals of fluoroscopy and radiation exposure. The text begins with an overview, history, and evolution of each procedure, followed by a discussion of the anatomical basis for using a minimally invasive approach. Each anatomical section starts with the least complicated surgeries, thereby laying the foundation for more complex procedures discussed in subsequent chapters. The third section focuses on thoracic decompression, nerve sheath tumors in the lumbar and thoracic spine, and management of metastatic disease and intradural extramedullary lesions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-authored text provides uniform readability and philosophy--cover to cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLumbar approaches include microdiscectomy, laminectomy, transforaminal interbody fusions, and the transpsoas approach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCervical procedures encompass posterior foraminotomy, laminectomy, and anterior discectomy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperb illustrations, high-fidelity anatomical animations based on computer modeling, and procedural videos enhance understanding of minimally invasive spine principles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis unique, single-author Primer is a must-have resource for early-career spine surgeons who wish to learn minimally invasive principles, as well as veteran surgeons who have a desire to incorporate minimally invasive spine surgery into clinical practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book includes complimentary access to a digital copy on https: \/\/medone.thieme.com.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luis Manuel Tumialan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1626232180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626232181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thieme Medical Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.30h x 8.70w x 1.10d","brand":"Luis Manuel Tumialan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065761607935,"sku":"9781626232181","price":214.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8c3ce4f-3ebd-44cd-9791-b324ef714d1e.jpg?v=1768677095","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/minimally-invasive-spine-surgery-luis-manuel-tumialan-9781626232181","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
