Fessler R.G. - Sekhar L.

Neurochirurgia – Colonna Vertebrale e Nervi Periferici

Two-volume large-format work (22 x 28), 1,200 pages, 1,269 illustrations—mostly in colour—and numerous tables. Printed entirely in colour and bound with a full-colour printed, plastic-laminated dust jacket.

This text is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of surgical techniques for the spine and peripheral nerves. This atlas shows all types of surgical approaches (anterior, anterolateral, posterior and posterolateral) used in procedures on peripheral nerves and the spine, both cranial and caudal segments. Each of the seven sections opens with an in-depth discussion of pathology, aetiology and differential diagnosis, explaining the underlying scientific principles of the various disorders and conditions of the spine and peripheral nerves. The technique-based chapters outline the goals of surgery, indications and contraindications, anaesthesiological considerations, positioning, a detailed description of surgical procedures, and advantages and disadvantages; all supported by more than 1,200 high-quality illustrations, largely in colour. It is therefore a complete and highly didactic text, useful for residents as well as for neurosurgeons and orthopaedic surgeons with an interest in spine surgery.
