In this issue of Neurosurgery Clinics, guest editor Dr. Michael G. Fehlings brings his considerable expertise to the topic of The Compressed Spinal Cord. Understanding this critical condition—the causes, clinical presentation, and advanced imaging and surgical techniques—is essential to delivering effective decompression and restoring neurological function. This issue provides expert guidance and the latest insights into managing spinal cord compression, empowering neurosurgeons to improve patient outcomes through precise diagnosis and innovative intervention strategies.
