Summary:

Anatomy and Exposures of Spinal Nerves, first edition was published in 2015. This book is a comprehensive illustrated surgical guide to operative exposures of nerves. Each chapter is devoted to a particular nerve and describes its origin, anatomical relations and variabilities, branches, surgical approaches, and clinical significance. The text is concise and easy to read, complemented by informative color photos from dissections and surgical procedures. Importantly, this book is accompanied by videos of different approaches. The book will be especially valuable for residents and fellows in training and candidates for oral board and maintenance of certification (MOC) examinations. It is also designed to provide a quick illustrated review for surgeons unfamiliar with a procedure. It should take less than 10 minutes to review each approach, including watching the video. After a very successful first edition, and translation to Chinese and Russian, this second edition provides an update that includes many advances in the field of nerve surgery, especially with newer surgical techniques. Chapters on neonatal brachial plexus injury, nerve transfers for spinal cord injury, lower extremity nerve transfers, transposition of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, surgery for torticollis and spasticity, multiple pain procedures including percutaneous nerve stimulation, and secondary orthopedic reconstructions have been added. A whole section on nerve fundamentals was added and includes histology, electrodiagnostics, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging. This edition will provide the reader with an even more comprehensive yet concise manual of the essentials of nerve surgery.
