Presentation Text
I have closely followed the journey of the Brazilian Spine Society since its very first steps and had the privilege of witnessing how much it has grown and strengthened over the years.
This evolution is evident in the increasing number of members, the enhancement of admissions processes, the expansion of accredited training services for new spine surgeons, and, above all, the ever-increasing quality of this education.
Seeing this path culminate in the production of this masterwork is a source of immense satisfaction. This book was born with the purpose of guiding, teaching, and serving as a reference for both those embarking on their path in the specialty and experienced professionals, contributing to the continuous advancement of spine surgery.
