Defining the Value of Spine Care

By: Jeffrey A. Rihn,Alexander R. Vaccaro,Todd J. Albert

The book "Defining the Value of Spine Care" discuses the concepts of value-based spinal care to the spine care provider. The spinal care coverage and payment are linked increasingly to the value of care. Hence the spine care provider can easily understand the concepts of value in the context of spinal care, outcome measures and cost measures. Initial chapters provide detail information on understanding the value of spine care and definition of common terminology. This is followed by the use of process measures in measuring the quality of spine care and disease-specific health-related quality of life measures in lumbar degenerative disease and cervical degenerative disease. It also discusses the numerical rating scales, the quality-adjusted life year, decision tree analysis and simulation modeling in spine care, etc. The last few chapters explain about value-based evaluation of new spine-related technology, determining value with outcome measures in perspectives from each of the stakeholders of spine care delivery, developing value-based guidelines for the treatment of spinal disorders and comparative effectiveness research in spine care using SPORT. Spine care providers need to measure the quality and value of the treatment and provide tools necessary for understanding the task.

Navigation and Robotics in Spine Surgery

By: Alexander R. Vaccaro,Jaykar R. Panchmatia,I. David Kaye

A unique how-to guide for spine surgeons on state-of-the-art computer-assisted navigation and robotic surgery techniques The past decade has seen major advances in image-guided spine surgery techniques, with robotically assisted approaches emerging in the last five years. While early adopters of this technology paved the way for more widespread use of navigated and robotic systems, barriers still exist. Navigation and Robotics in Spine Surgery by master spine surgeon Alexander Vaccaro and esteemed co-editors Jaykar Panchmatia, I. David Kaye, and Srinivas Prasad addresses existing issues such as the perception of increased upfront costs, intrusion on current workflow, and a lack of understanding about the potential ways these technologies can enhance the surgical experience and improve patient outcomes. Organized into six sections, the book starts with evidence-based fundamentals of navigated spine surgery and robotics including discussion of instrumentation and mechanics. Sections 2-5 serve as a surgical handbook for spine surgeons who wish to introduce these technologies into practice or augment their current repertoire with more complex techniques. Topics range from more routine procedures such as navigated and robotic minimally invasive TLIF to complex approaches like intraoperative ultrasound guided intradural spinal tumor resection. The final section looks at future directions and potential new applications for these technologies. Key Highlights An impressive group of international spine surgeons who pioneered navigation and robotic surgery techniques share invaluable tricks of the trade Discussion of fluoroscopy- and intraoperative CT-based platforms, applications for intraoperative sonography, and radiation exposure and minimization strategies Special topics include OR set-up and workflow, surmounting the learning curve, artificial intelligence, and lessons learned from other industries Procedural videos demonstrate the benefits of computer-assisted navigation and robotic techniques This book is essential reading for orthopaedic surgery and neurosurgery residents and spine fellows who wish to learn about and incorporate these technologies into practice. Seasoned spine surgeons seeking to expand the scope of their navigated/robotic practice will benefit from chapters detailing advanced approaches.

Reviews of Accelerator Science and Technology - Volume 2: Medical Applications of Accelerators

By: Alexander W. Chao,Weiren Chou

The theme of this volume, ?Medical Applications of Accelerators?, is of enormous importance to human health and has a deep impact on our society.The invention of particle accelerators in the early 20th century created a whole new world for producing energetic X-rays, electrons, protons, neutrons and other particle beams. Immediately these beams found revolutionary applications in medicine. There are two important yet distinct medical applications. On the one hand, accelerators produce radioisotopes for various nuclear medicines for millions of patients each year, and on the other hand, they also produce particle beams for radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer. The particle beams can be X-rays (generated by high-energy electrons), protons, neutrons or heavy ions such as carbon. Today there are more than 5,000 accelerators routinely used in hospitals all over the world for nuclear medicine and cancer therapy. The great potential of accelerator applications in medicine can hardly be exaggerated.This volume contains 14 articles, all written by distinguished scholars.

Basic Science of Spinal Diseases

By: Alok D Sharan,Simon Y Tang,Alexander R Vaccaro

This is the 1st edition of the book Basic Science of Spinal Diseases. This text is a comprehensive, updated as per the present day requirements in the subject of basic science of spinal diseases. The core basis of the book is organized in four major sections: Anatomy and Physiology of the Intervertebral Disc, Pathophysiology of the Intervertebral Disc, The Science of Spinal Instrumentation, and The Science of Spinal Interventions. Following this, the editors have formatted every chapter to begin with a clinical presentation, followed by a full discussion of the science in the particular area, and ending with questions for future investigation. The chapters cover both animal and clinical research providing interest to both scientists and clinicians. The current treatment of spinal disorders is quite fragmented and patients often seek guidance from a variety of specialists such as physiatrist, neurologists, physical therapists, neurosurgeons, and orthopedic surgeons. Most commonly the treatments are based on anecdotal evidence and not scientific methodologies. It is the only book currently available that brings to this field a compilation of the scientific works necessary for anyone's sound understanding of spinal disease. This book is an asset for many different types of readers, and should become a MUST KEEP text for all young readers entering the field of spinal disorders. This book will serve as the foundation for the generation of future treatment paradigms in spine surgery.
