Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery: A Practical Guide to Anatomy and Techniques is a beautifully illustrated text describing the 18 most widely accepted minimally-invasive procedures in spine surgery. Written by leaders in both neurologic and orthopedic spine surgery, this book offers the most up-to-date material and the broadest perspective on the subject. Procedures range from simple to complex and cover the cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions of the spine. Chapter topics include: 
· image-guided spinal navigation 
· posterior cervical instrumentation and fusion
· thoracoscopic deformity correction 
· facet joint and epidural injections
· discography and endoscopic lumbar discectomy
· transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF)
· anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) 
· iliac crest bone graft harvest and fusion techniques
