Complications in Spinal Surgery: A Comprehensive Guide

Complications in Spinal Surgery: A Comprehensive Guide is a comprehensive reference for before and after surgery, covering the common complications, but also the rare complexities which can occur. Unique to this book are the other implications of complications, such as how to approach patients and families, the medicolegal aspects of complications and how to deal with these situations at a personal level. With its evidence-based approach, real-world case discussions, and expert perspectives, it equips readers with the knowledge and confidence to navigate the complexities of spine surgery and improve patient outcomes. The book is divided into major sections, including safety in spine surgery, general complications, complications by region (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral), complications related to pediatrics, and then predictive analytics. Although some complications can happen irrespective of the spinal region, dividing into anatomical sections make the most sense for the reader. Complications in Spine Surgery: A Comprehensive Guide serves as an essential reference authored by leading global experts, offering a comprehensive and practical guide to one of the most challenging aspects of spine care. Designed to benefit both surgeons-in-training--residents and fellows--and seasoned professionals in orthopedic and neurosurgical spine practice, this book provides critical insights into the prevention, recognition, and management of complications.
