    The author gives a positive partial answer to Tingley's isometric extension problem (i.e.,\ whether every onto isometry between unit spheres of Banach spaces can be extended to a (linear) isometry between the whole spaces). It is proved that every surjective isometry between the unit spheres of \(L_p(\mu)\) (\(1<p<\infty\), \(p\neq 2\)) and a Banach space \(E\) can be extended to a linear isometry from \(L_p(\mu)\) onto \(E\). Some results on extensions of \(1\)-Lipschitz and anti-\(1\)-Lipschitz maps between unit spheres are also presented. More information on Tingley's problem can be found in [\textit{D. Tingley}, Geom. Dedicata 22, 371--378 (1987; Zbl 0615.51005)] and the recent survey \textit{G.~G.~Ding} [Sci. China, Ser. A 52, No. 10, 2069--2083 (2009; Zbl 1190.46013)].
