The first work of its kind devoted to the pelvis and lower limb, Surgical Anatomy of the Sacral Plexus and Its Branches clearly explains and illustrates this important subset of peripheral nervous system anatomy. Ideal for physicians and residents from a wide range of medical and surgical disciplines, this unique title details new methods of imaging the sacral plexus, as well as its pathology and appropriate surgical approaches.

Key Features

Demonstrates the surgical anatomy of each branch of the sacral plexus using fresh cadaveric dissections.
Color-codes nerves to differentiate them from other tissues and dissects them in a layer-by-layer manner.

Complies the knowledge and expertise of renowned clinical anatomists and researchers Dr. R. Shane Tubbs and Dr. Joe Iwanaga in this key area of surgical anatomy
