Surgery for Low Back Pain

From the reviews:

“This book is an interdisciplinary multi-author approach to the low back pain problem … . this book is a valuable contribution about lumbar spine problems, including basics, critical evaluation of different treatment options with EBM references, with brief ethical and socio-economic discussions.” (Denis L. Kaech, ArgoSpine News & Journal, Vol. 24 (1-2), June, 2012)

“This book evaluates the various surgical approaches to treating low back pain, with appraisal of the factors leading to their success or failure. It also discusses applicable treatment regimens other than surgery. … The authors intend the book for orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, rheumatologists, neurologists, physiatrists, physical therapists, psychologists, and social security/insurance specialists. However, it is best suited for neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons. … This is a well-written and useful book. … It deals specifically … relevant to its subject, no more and no less.” (Samuel J. Chmell, Doody’s Book Reviews, July, 2010)
