Description
Revision spine surgery requires a unique skill set different from performing a primary operation. Understanding when a simple revision is sufficient, when a more complex approach is needed, or when a non-surgical option should be considered is critical to good patient care and outcomes. In this first book to focus exclusively on the complex topic of revision spine surgery, world-renowned Dr. Alex Vaccaro and leading neuro and orthopaedic spine surgeons, navigate physicians through the initial evaluative process and the potential pitfalls and complications encountered in revision surgery.
