This book details the current status of cervical MISS for expert surgeons young surgeons or
clinicians and residents and fellows with little or no experience on this field of surgery.
Because of the involvement of different and highly trained specialists from all over the world
the aim of this book is to satisfy the requirements for knowing the most advanced surgical
techniques and their application. Also included are the indications and surgical techniques
involving an open standard approach giving a most exhaustive knowledge of the cervical spine
surgery. Due to the difficulty of finding books with both minimal invasive cervical spine
surgery and more conventional standard open surgery the benefit of this book is to permit the
surgeons and residents and medical doctors to have a more complete and immediate knowledge of
the topics. Due to the scientific multidisciplinary nature of the MISS several professionals
such as orthopedic surgeons neurosurgeons radiologists anesthesiologists and pain management
specialists have been involved in order to create a book in which all the aspects of MISS have
been treated.
