Lumbar Disc Herniation

This monograph analyses all aspects related to the etiopathogenesis, pathomorphology, diagnosis and treatment of lumbar disc herniation. Five chapters are dedicated to biological and pathomorphologic aspects, and five deal with the clinical presentation and diagnostic tests in an extremely wide and detailed way. Large space is reserved to conservative, percutaneous and surgical treatments, as well as the causes and management of failed back syndrome. This volume is the widest and most complete monograph so far published on the subject.
