Neuroendoscopy and Interventional Pain Medicine is a clinically focused medical monograph series. With contributions from a team of internationally recognized neurosurgeons and spinal surgery specialists, the series aims to illuminate the latest advancements in minimally invasive neurosurgical techniques and pain management. Each volume offers invaluable insights into the future of minimally invasive treatments in this medical subspecialty.

Interventional Pain Surgery is the third of the monograph series. This book comprehensively covers endoscopic techniques for spinal surgery. Topics include interlaminar lumbar endoscopy, transforaminal lumbar discectomy, endoscopic approaches for lumbar spinal canal stenosis, and management of chronic low back pain through rhizotomy and rhiziolysis. The endoscopic treatment of basivertebral neuropathy, cervical foraminotomy, and decompression techniques is explained in dedicated chapters. Finally, the book also addresses endoscopic posterior lumbar interbody fusion and procedures for adjacent segment disease after lumbar fusion.
