Jörg Klekamp, Madjid Samii: "Surgery of Spinal Tumors"
Springer | 2007 | ISBN: 3540447148 | 526 pages | PDF | 37 MB

This comprehensive reference describes the experience with the treatment of patients with spinal tumors gained over a period of 25 years. It covers clinical presentations and neuroradiological features of intramedullary, extramedullary and extradural spinal tumors. Furthermore, it provides step-by-step intraoperative photographs to describe surgical strategies and techniques, and gives detailed statistical analyses on postoperative outcomes by focussing on postoperative complications, short-term and long-term results. Every physician who treats patients with spinal tumors will find valuable source of reference to operate these patients. Unlike other textbooks, this is not a collection of contributions by several authors in this field but the essence of the work on spinal tumors in a single neurosurgical institution.
