Full Description
This unique book covers a wide spectrum of neurosurgical science and practice. Authored by world-renowned neurosurgeons, it aims to bridge the gap between practical anatomy and the recent advances in neurosurgical interventions. A special section on neurovascular surgery demonstrates the surgical skills required and challenges faced during surgery of complex aneurysms, vascular malformations and options for special revascularization procedures. Distinctive chapters highlight the anatomical landmarks for tailored microsurgical and endoscopic approaches to skull base, ventricular and spinal tumors. This textbook outline the role of white matter dissection in glioma and epilepsy surgery with an update on functional and peripheral nerves neurosurgery and a special chapter on the anticipation and management of complications in adult and paediatric neurosurgery.
