Explore the evolving world of awake spine surgery that minimizes anesthesia risks while enhancing patient care. Detailed protocols cover refined patient selection, ultrasound-guided blocks, robotics, endoscopy, and minimally invasive techniques—all supported by practical insights and procedural videos for improved outcomes.

A masterful guide on awake spine surgery and minimizing patient anesthesia burdens

Spine surgery is an inherently evolving subspeciality with an ever increasing understanding of the pathology, biomechanics, and natural history of spine disease. Concurrently, technological innovations have been introduced that enable better and safer patient outcomes. At the forefront is awake spine surgery, a groundbreaking approach that is about more than avoiding general anesthesia - it stems from the philosophy of minimizing the surgeon "footprint" on patients. Awake Spine Surgery edited by pioneering surgeons Muhammad M. Abd-El-Barr, Alok Sharan Kingsley Abode-Iyamah, Bhavuk Garg, and Ernest E. Braxton Jr. details this innovative and emerging area of spine surgery.

The book is organized into three parts and 22 chapters covering preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative considerations. The text lays a solid foundation, detailing patient selection criteria and contraindications and a full spectrum of ultrasound-guided blocks, from erector spinae to abdominal wall. The multidimensional aspects of awake spine surgery are reflected in topics ranging from global lessons learned from Covid and outpatient awake surgery program development—to long-acting nerve blocks and postoperative delirium.

Key Highlights

Encompasses the latest approaches, including endoscopy, robotics, next generation TLIFs, and minimally invasive lateral spine
Invaluable clinical pearls, practical tools, comprehensive protocols, and inspiring case studies to integrate into practice
Expert tips, key points, and tables enhance understanding and acquisition of knowledge
