Preface
On behalf of the International Study Group on Spinal Degenerative Pathologies (ISSDP) (head Dr Alberto Alexandre) and the Committee for Peripheral Nerve Surgery of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (head Dr Eduardo Fernandez) and sponsored by EU. N.I., European Neurosurgical Institute, the Sixth Symposium on Peripheral Nerve Microsurgery and Minimally Invasive Treatments for Spinal Diseases was held in Treviso with wide international participation. The course was also supported by the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies and by the Latin-American Federation of Neurosurgery. Peripheral nerve problems were discussed and problems concerning differential diagnosis were highlighted, i.e. differential diagnosis in special situations such as between radicular and peripheral nerve trunk lesions, pinpointing the significance of different diagnostic tools. Minimally invasive techniques, utilized nowadays to minimize bone demolition, scarring and risk of recurrence, were carefully analyzed. Microdiscectomy was compared with the results of intradiscal techniques, and new methods were discussed in the face of problems such as epidural fibrotisation, microinstability, osteoporotic or neoplastic or postraumatic vertebral lesions. The differe
