Minimally Invasive Spine Intervention (PDF)

On the basis of expertise and evidence!

The expert knowledge on numerous established and innovative minimally invasive interventions on the spine is summarized systematically and in detail in this book. All chapters are consistently structured with special education, implementation of the intervention, complications, literature, reimbursement and a final conclusion with assessment of clinical relevance. The focus is on the practice: step-by-step the procedure is presented under the heading "carrying out the intervention".

This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Minimalinvasive Wirbelsäulenintervention by Jerosch Jörg published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from aconventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

The book is ideal for practitioners who want to benefit from the know-how of experienced colleagues or who are interested in new innovative procedures and for referring physicians who want to get an overview.
