"It is a good reference guide for common MIS techniques that are routinely being applied to deformity surgery. ... this book provides an excellent roadmap not only to what techniques exist but also to how the spine community should go about its evaluation." (Alfred T. Ogden, Neurosurgery, Vol. 76 (6), June, 2015) "Chapters describe concisely the technique, its indications and complications illustrated with intraoperative pictures or well drawn illustrations. ... the book is a valuable completion of the library of each practising spinal surgeon, spine fellow, and senior resident, since several minimal invasive spinal operative techniques and radiological concepts are concisely described." (Ronald Bartels, Acta Neurochirurgica, Vol. 157, January, 2015)
