Review of the First Edition:
"Covers the breadth of spine surgery, from patient evaluation, pathology, and treatment decisions to surgical techniques, associated complications, and long-term care. Nonoperative care, biomechanics, and medical economics are also given thorough consideration...The chapters are well organized, easy to read, and well illustrated. The discussions are to the point and easily understood...This text will be of great value to the practicing spine surgeon, whether neurosurgically or orthopaedically trained. I strongly recommend it to all practitioners."The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery

"The editor has pooled a distinguished and diverse assembly of authors who represent various opinions regarding the most significant issues that spine surgeons encounter in daily practice...[T]he new edition is an outstanding update of an already great reference source. I would recommend this text surgeons who treat spinal disorders, particularly those in training. This is a source one can refer to time and time again."--Journal of Neurosurgery, July 2005
