This practical, step-wise text covers the surgical approaches, resection strategies and reconstruction techniques used for each type of presenting tumor of the spine. Demonstrating the variety of anterior, posterior and intradural approaches and stabilization techniques, and spanning from pathologies of the craniocervical region to sacral and intradural pathologies, each chapter is generously illustrated with figures, radiographs and intraoperative photos. The chapters themselves follow a consistent and user-friendly format: the anatomy and biomechanics of a specific region, patient evaluation, essential oncologic principles, the decision-making process, and technical steps of surgery. A representative case illustration is provided at the conclusion of each chapter, exemplifying pertinent concepts described. Additionally, video segments accompany selected chapters, providing real-time illustration of surgical techniques. 

Technical and in-depth, yet highly accessible, Spinal Tumor Surgery: A Case-Based Approach is an essential resource for orthopedic spine surgeons, neurosurgeons, and surgical oncologists operating on tumors of the spine.

“This is a book for spinal surgeons, written by expert spinal surgeons. … this is a timely text, both comprehensive and well-suited to its audience. The case-based approach is a clear strength for the targeted readership. It is easy to navigate and reference. Such an enjoyable text makes it easy to recommend; the editor and authors are to be commended for their expert contribution to the literature.” (Kimberly B. Hoang, Neurosurgery, Vol. 86 (1), 2020)
