Description
Book SynopsisWFNS Spine Committee Textbook on Thoracic Spine is a comprehensive, illustrated review of surgical management of the thoracic spine, from the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies.
This book is divided into 53 chapters, beginning with applied anatomy of the thoracic spine. A wide variety of spinal conditions are covered such as tuberculosis and vascular malformations of the spine. Topics include spinal tumours, spine biomechanics, spinal deformity and infections of the thoracic spine. Procedures covered range from endoscopic and robot assisted discectomy to microsurgery for transitional thoracic disc herniation, and 360 degree excision and reconstruction of the thoracic spine.
Enhanced by over 550 illustrations, images and tables, WFNS Spine Committee Textbook on Thoracic Spine provides clear guidance for postgraduate students, junior consultants and senior practising neurosurgeons.
