2010년말 우리나라의 많은 통증전문의들과 최소 침습적 척추수술 전문의들이 저술한 이 책이 세계적인 출판사인 Elsevier사에서 발행된 지 수 개월 만에 5쇄가 들어가는 등 전 세계의사들로 부터 많은 관심을 받고 있으며 우리 국내의 최소 침습적척추수술법과 시술법들이 전 세계적으로 소개되고 있다는 사실이 에디터의 한 사람으로써 자랑스럽게 생각합니다. 여러 차례 번역본을 출간했지만 그어느 때 보다 신경을 많이 쓰이는 작업이었습니다. 최대한 의미를 확실하게 전달하고 읽는 속도를 빠르게 하기 위해서 가급적 의학용어나 시술법은영어로 그대로 두고 번역을 한 것이 특징이라고 하겠습니다. 번역에 있어 미숙한 부분들도 있을 것으로 생각되나 대표 역자로서 최선을 다해서저자들의 뜻을 독자들에게 잘 전달되도록 번역에 최선을 다했습니다. 누구보다도 바쁜 분들이지만 최선을 다해 번역을 담당해 주신 여러 선생님들께감사의 인사를 드립니다. 아무쪼록 이 번역본이 독자 분들의 시술법이나 수술법 향상에 큰 도움이 되길 기대합니다.
