Minimally invasive techniques in spine surgery are gaining great popularity between spine surgeons. It is quite evident that the current trend is to switch most of the conventional open surgeries to minimally invasive techniques. In the near future we can estimate they will be our standard in most cases. This textbook "Minimally Invasive Procedures in Spine Surgery" is a great contribution to spine surgery literature. The sections contain not only advanced techniques of the minimally invasive spine surgery, but also related anatomy, some injection techniques and even radiosurgery of the spine. The authors are from Turkish spine surgeons and also well- known international names. I congratulate Dr. Larry T. Khoo and Dr. Ali Fahir Özer for editing this book that will be a very comprehensive guide for beginners and advanced spine surgeons.
