Developed under the guidance of the SIS Standards Division and edited by Professor Nikolai Bogduk, internationally renowned and respected expert in clinical anatomy and spine pain, this comprehensive compendium on spine interventions is a must read for anyone performing interventional spine procedures. The book provides a summary of the current state of the evidence concerning each procedure, along with complete and detailed descriptions of the techniques used. The book is divided into five sections: Precepts, Cervical Procedures, Thoracic Procedures, Lumbar Procedures, and Sacral Procedures. The Precepts section includes chapters on sedation, intravenous lines, records, anticoagulants, and principles of radiofrequency neurotomy. The four procedure sections cover access and applications of cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral procedures. Each chapter contains dozens of high quality radiographic images depicting step-by-step needle placement technique and demonstrating injectate flow patterns.
