      abstract = {This book addresses conventional and minimally invasive  surgery of the cervical spine to cater for both experts and  young surgeons with less experience in this field of  surgery. It is written by a group of highly trained  specialists from all over the world, who present the  requirements for the most advanced surgical techniques on  the cervical spine. Most of the chapters concern the  osteodiscoarthrosic pathology, the main condition  responsible for chronic cervical and/or radicular pain.  Step by step presentations of the most advanced MISS  (endoscopy) and standard procedures such as ACDF (anterior  cervical decompression and fusion), using cages or  autologous bone, posterior approach to axis instability,  minimally invasive stabilization systems, and cervical disc  arthroplasty are examined for the treatment of the  osteodiscoarthrosis. Looking towards the future, this book  also includes chapters about the role of materials in  cervical spine fusion and biomechanical engineering  evaluation in cervical tribology. Considering the growing  incidence of cervical spine discoarthrosis, the authors aim  to provide an expert overview of cervical spine surgery to  assist the medical community with treating this  increasingly common pathology.},
