Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery
This book presents a comprehensive update on some crucial aspects of brain and spinal tumoral pathology that strongly influence the current surgical management. It covers a range of topics, from the latest results of molecular diagnosis for tumors still considered unsuitable for surgical excision, to the increasing use of minimally invasive approaches made possible by the wide application of neuroendoscopic techniques. The first three chapters discuss basic research on the potential benefits of new, less invasive and more sophisticated techniques for brain exploration. The following four chapters examine how modern instruments for intraoperative visualization are modifying the traditional pa...
Midline Skull Base Surgery
This richly illustrated book offers detailed, step-by-step guidance on surgical approaches and techniques in patients with midline tumors of the skull base. Access routes are described from both endoscopic and microscopic standpoints, via different approaches, in order to provide a 360-degree overview of contemporary midline skull base surgery. For each pathology, the multiple surgical options and their specific indications are clearly presented, with inclusion of neuroradiological images, an anatomical dissection study and operative images and videos. The book is intended for surgeons who wish to acquire knowledge and experience in skull base surgery employing endoscopic endonasal and microsurgical transcranial techniques. It is exceptional in providing an integrated perspective that encompasses traditional microsurgical approaches and the most recent endoscopic ones, with definition of the indications for and limitations of both options.
MCQs in Spine Surgery
This book provides an insightful reference to a range of relevant orthopaedic and neurological surgical techniques for the spine. It features detailed insight into how to approach treating patients exhibiting a wide range of symptoms of a particular disorder, from anatomy to biomechanics and pathology. Detailed explanations of the validity of a chosen treatment methodology are provided as are multiple choice questions to enable the reader to systematically develop a deep understanding of the content covered. MCQs in Spine Surgery details a range of the latest knowledge in spinal surgery and techniques, making it a valuable resource for all medical professionals who treat these patients. The inclusion of multiple choice questions make the work of particular use to those preparing for board examinations too.
Surgery of the Cranio-Vertebral Junction
This book provides a unique tool for approaching cranio-vertebral junction (CVJ) surgery. Following a brief introduction to the relevant anatomy and biomechanics of CVJ, it explores the field of cranio-vertebral junction lesions and their management. Furthermore, individual chapters cover endovascular surgery, endoscopic skull base techniques, navigation and robotics, ensuring that surgeons stay up-to-date. A chapter addressing the consequences of CVJ surgery with regard to sagittal balance is of particular importance. The book is structured according both to the type of lesion involving the CVJ (tumor, trauma), and to the type of surgical approach (anterior, posterior). Further, it reflects innovative treatment modalities that have improved patient safety and efficacy rates for surgery involving the CVJ, and covers both open and minimally invasive surgical methods, enabling surgeons to hone their skills in both areas.
Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery, An Issue of Neurosurgery Clinics of North America
Because the base of the skull has proven to be one of the most challenging regions of the body to access, treatment options were once limited for patients with tumors or lesions in this area. However, with recent advancements and breakthroughs in treatment, patients with skull base tumors now have an array of surgical options that can help them return to leading a normal and active life. The Endoscopic Endonasal Approach (EEA) is an innovative surgical technique used to remove brain tumors and lesions—some as large as softballs—all through the nose.
Controversies in Neurosurgery II
Controversies in Neurosurgery II reflects real-world situations where multiple treatment options are often considered for difficult neurosurgical cases. Each chapter begins with an opening case in which experts describe the pros and cons of different treatment methodologies and operative techniques, helping neurosurgeons select the best treatment plan for individual patients in their practice. It is informed with the expertise of more than 100 of the world's preeminent neurosurgeons. Key features: Experts from all over the world offer their opinions on more than 20 controversial "hot" topics in neurosurgery, including a discussion about whether transcranial or endoscopic approaches are the b...
Cranio-Orbital Mass Lesions
This book fills a gap in the field of the cranio-orbital lesions, as it deals only with mass lesions involving both the intracranial and intra-orbital compartments. The surgical anatomy, diagnosis, surgical approaches and specified pathological mass lesions are described in detalis. The book includes four parts. Part 1, is devoted to the surgical anatomy of the orbital region. Part 2 to the clinical and neuroradiological examination of the cranio-orbital mass lesions. Part 3 discusses the surgical approaches, both trans-cranial and transorbital, and microscopic and endoscopic, focusing on the surgical techniques, their indications, advantages, limitations and complications. Finally, part 4 discusses the single pathological mass lesions, their anatomo-clinical and radiological aspects and the best surgical approaches. Aim of this book is to illustrate the best surgical approaches according to prevalent intracranial or intra-orbital extension and the type of the mass lesions.
Rhinology
The quintessential, authoritative, and reader-friendly rhinology reference Rhinology: Diseases of the Nose, Sinuses, and Skull Base edited by distinguished clinicians Peter H. Hwang, David W. Kennedy, Richard R. Orlandi, and Peter John Wormald brings together the collective wisdom, experience, and vision of preeminent thought leaders in a comprehensive rhinology reference. With approximately 1,000 pages, this tome offers in-depth coverage of all core topics in the subspecialty of rhinology, ranging from rhinosinusitis to endoscopic skull base reconstruction and more. The updated resource reflects the significant growth in knowledge and understanding of anatomy, pathophysiology, medical thera...
Endoscopic Approaches to the Paranasal Sinuses and Skull Base
Endoscopic Approaches to the Paranasal Sinuses and Skull Base With the continuing evolution of endoscopic techniques for surgery of lesions of the paranasal sinuses and skull base, and the reduced morbidity associated with this minimally invasive modality, the method has gained widespread use in recent years. This work offers a thorough review of all endoscopic approaches for access to the nose and paranasal sinuses and, through them, to the skull base. Central to this guide is the emphasis on profound knowledge of the complex anatomy in this area, as well as the many vital structures that can be endangered there. To this end, more than 900 full-color images, most photographs from cadaver di...
