MIS and open approaches are thoroughly compared and contrasted in each chapter. Evidence is presented and analyzed in an objective manner with 'opposing sides' presenting differing opinions and techniques, resulting in a synchronous collection of pros and cons. Every chapter is masterfully summed up by the book's editors -- each of whom have varying stances on the topics at hand. This unique 'duel' and 'duet' discussion enables readers to assimilate information, benefit from the balanced harmony between divergent opinions, and reach their own conclusions. Key Highlights: Comparative risks, benefits, complications, and outcomes for a full spectrum of lumbar, thoracic and cervical procedures; MIS versus open approaches for lumbar stenosis, synovial cysts, lumbar adjacent segment degeneration, degenerative scoliosis, flatback syndrome, thoracic disc herniation, and dural tears; Tumor resection and stabilization, quality of life issues, and potential advantages and risks of MIS techniques; Key differences in MIS versus open operations such as radiation exposure and costs; Analysis of 3-D navigational imaging to improve outcomes and reduce radiation exposure and operating time. -- Publisher
