Full Description
This book serves as a definitive guide to glioma surgery, integrating advanced theoretical insights with practical surgical methodologies. The text provides an in-depth examination of the applied anatomy pertinent to glioma surgery, the principles underlying modern precision neurosurgery, and the clinical applications of state-of-the-art computer-assisted surgical technologies. Furthermore, it articulates critical strategies such as multimodal navigation, awake brain mapping, and advanced resection techniques, thereby equipping neurosurgeons with the necessary tools to achieve the paramount objective of "maximum safe resection."
The atlas comprises over 600 meticulously crafted illustrations and more than 40 high-quality surgical videos. It is structured into two principal sections: theoretical foundations and clinical case studies. The first section presents core principles, which include anatomy landmarks for glioma surgeries, awake craniotomy, cognitive assessment, electrophysiological monitoring, cortical and subcortical stimulation, and the implementation of multimodal neuro-navigation systems. The second section showcases 29 detailed glioma cases, categorized by brain region involvement. Each case provides in-depth, step-by-step guidance through key surgical approaches, enhanced with intraoperative computer-generated images and expert surgical commentary. Accompanied by 29 case-specific videos, this section offers an unparalleled window into the complexities of glioma resection surgery. This atlas is an indispensable reference for achieving excellence in glioma surgery and is designed to support neurosurgeons at every stage of their practice career.
