Spinal Surgery: Science and Practice

1990. xii, 569pp. B&W illustrations. "A multi-author textbook integrating the relevant scientific infrastructure of the subject into modern day spinal surgery practice. While technique (and technology) is fully treated, the perspective of this volume is that the performance of a procedure is frequently of less pivotal importance than the decision making process leading into the particular procedure and, even more importantly, how the patient is counseled and managed throughout the critical phase." Small bump to top of spine. Previous owner's label (that of eminent Edinburgh neurosurgeon Phillip Harris) to FFEP. The book is in excellent condition. All contents are tight and clean. There are no inscriptions. PLEASE NOTE: Heavy book so extra will be needed for shipping to non-UK customers.
