The field of minimally invasive spine intervention continues to evolve rapidly. Numerous changes and developments have been added to our tools and capabilities over the past decade. Image-Guided Spine Interventions, Second Edition, describes the v- ied and numerous tools that are available to the physicians who are involved in providing these procedures to appropriate patients. This book embraces clinical evaluation, pharmacological requirements, p- cedural recommendations, and a spectrum of procedures that will be of interest to the minimally invasive spine interventionalist. It covers a broad range of material that is presented by experts in each field, such as discography, percutaneous discectomy, vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty, epidural steroid injections, selective nerve root blocks, autonomic nerve blocks, spinal stimulator implantation, and spine v- cular intervention. This book will be useful to all physicians who deal with back pain, including pain anesthesiologists, spine neurosurgeons, orthopedists, and radiologists. Both editors have clinical practices devoted solely to spine pro- dures and pain management. This rewarding area has grown rapidly, and it provides great opportunities for clinical development as well as potential to aid a very needy patient population. We sincerely hope this work will be useful in helping our colleagues - new and old - establish, grow, and refine a minimally invasive spine interventional practice.
Industry Reviews
From the reviews: "Dr John A Mathis, who is past-president of the American Society of Spine Radiology and a leading authority on vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, has edited review format contributions from selected (almost exclusively) North American authors. Concise overviews are provided of all these topics. This volume is targeted at physicians interested in utilising the various percutaneous techniques available in managing back pain. ... There are more than 300 illustrations, providing examples of technique and pitfalls. ... This book provides an excellent overview for those already involved in image-guided spinal work or those in other interventional fields hoping to establish a service and is recommended." (Dr. A Saifuddin, Dr. R Hughes, RAD Magazine, September, 2005) From the reviews of the second edition: "Dr. Mathis has provided both neophytic and experienced practitioners with a comprehensive book that details the gamut of current procedures and techniques. ... book is simply organized, with a logical progression of its chapters from fundamental anatomy and patient evaluation to detailed discussions of individual procedures. The diagrams are excellent and the images complement the procedural discussions. ... provides both novice and experienced spine interventionalists with a superb reference. Readers will benefit from the wealth of technical information provided by Dr. Mathis and his coauthors." (Maurice F. Finnegan Jr., Radiology, Vol. 259 (1), April, 2011)
