Review of the previous edition: "This book is a must-have and a gold standard in textbooks on spine surgery. Compared to previous editions, there are multiple updates with new guidelines and research, especially in regard to the minimally invasive, novel, and robotic approaches. Therefore, the update's new set of figures and online materials make it a very worthwhile update and edition. Compared to other textbooks, the thoroughness, variety of information and resources, and in-depth expert discussion of topics is unique, making it a must-have reference book for spine surgery." -©Doody’s Review Service, 2022, Morteza Sadeh, MD PhD (University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine) Doody's Score: 5 Stars!
