Orthopedic minimally invasive surgery: spine

Minimally invasive surgery has developed rapidly in the past few decades. As one of the latest developments in spinal therapy, minimally invasive spinal surgery has also undergone tremendous changes, including the understanding of equipment, imaging technology, and biomechanics. The treatment methods and effects have a huge impact. The benefits of minimally invasive spine surgery include reduced postoperative pain, smaller surgical wounds, less hospital stays, lower medical costs, and so on. Therefore, it is generally welcomed by spinal therapists and patients. However, the learning curve for mastering minimally invasive spinal surgery is steep. To master this concise and complex technique requires professional courses. This book is compiled by experts in the field of minimally invasive spine surgery, and discusses the surgical indications, treatment principles and technical methods of all minimally invasive spine surgery. This book will undoubtedly be a valuable reference for neurospine spine surgery and orthopedic spine surgeons and interns.

Foreword (1)


The application of the principles and techniques of minimally invasive spinal surgery is growing rapidly. In a way, it has become the method used by many spine surgeons. Doctors and patients of spine surgery are very enthusiastic about using this method. The mainstream medical websites, online discussions, and academic conferences of the surgical association have been very impressive about minimally invasive spine surgery.
There are many reasons for such popularity. Mainly safe, less blood loss, less pain, and very popular among patients. Despite this enthusiasm, it is necessary to do some self-reflection and careful consideration. As doctors, we must consider the best evidence available to support this new technology. In this book, we aim to consider the available evidence to support minimally invasive spine surgery. However, we should also consider security issues, learning curve issues, and the high cost of this technology. In many cases, the latter two issues may be more important than others. To varying degrees, important considerations need to be given to the specific issues of the surgeon.
In the following content, we try to provide readers with various outlines of minimally invasive spinal surgery approaches, including pathology and related technical issues, and explain the limitations and advantages of minimally invasive surgery based on cases. One thing to keep in mind: Large complications can be latent through small openings. With this in mind, please read, appreciate and learn about this work written by an experienced author. We hope that you, like us, will provide an objective, honest and balanced development path for minimally invasive surgery, and will provide useful help in the coming years.

Foreword (2)


At present, minimally invasive orthopedic surgery is welcomed by orthopaedic surgeons and patients at home and abroad. This is because with the maturity of technology and the development of new equipment, minimally invasive surgery can increasingly achieve the same treatment effect as traditional open surgery. It can not only reduce the pain of patients undergoing orthopedic surgery, but also greatly reduce the length of hospitalization and treatment costs of patients. Obviously, it is beneficial to the national economic construction and medical insurance expenditure. In particular, the injury to the surgical patients is slight, and the postoperative complications are also significantly reduced. Modern orthopedic surgeons learning and developing minimally invasive surgery have become an indispensable clinical technique.
In 2012, one of the world's most famous publishing companies, Springer, published a series of Minimally Invasive Surgery in Orthopedics, including: spine, upper limb, hip, knee, foot and ankle The book "Total Hip Replacement Surgery" has been introduced and published). This series covers almost all minimally invasive surgery in the current orthopedic field. In view of this, the translation of the orthopaedic surgeon from the orthopedic organization of Tianjin Hospital into the Chinese version will certainly play an important role in promoting the application of orthopedic clinical minimally invasive technology in China and the development of orthopedic clinical minimally invasive surgery in China.
As this Chinese version is published, we would like to express our congratulations and congratulations.
