Riassunto

The Failed Back Syndrome: Etiology and Therapy provides com-prehensive and up-to-date information on the failed backsyndrome and its treatment. The volume begins with an intro-duction and discussion of the role of improper surgery inthe etiology of the failed back syndrome. Major sectionsfocus on symptomatic diagnosis; precise diagnosis of spe-cificsyndromes; noninvasive therapy; needle therapy andsurgical therapy.
