Principles of Neurosurgery
Neurosurgery is a vast subspecialty in medical sciences. A brief textbook covering all aspects of neurosurgery is probably rare, especially for postgraduate students, undergraduate students as well as general physicians. The available neurosurgery textbooks are either very detailed or do not cover all parts of neurosurgery. This book is going to be very useful to those who will be sitting for a neurosurgery postgraduate examination/board examination or looking for concise ideas on neurosurgery. This book is based on recent and established scientific data, covering all parts of neurosurgery that can help them a lot including practicing neurosurgeons and neuroscientists as well. Here more emphasis will be given to common neurosurgical conditions without ignoring less frequent conditions.
Surgery of the Craniovertebral Junction
The original and definitive reference on surgery of the craniovertebral junction, now in an updated second edition. The craniovertebral junction, with a significant range of pathologies and anatomical complexities, continues to be a challenging area for surgeons. This new edition of Surgery of the Craniovertebral Junction focuses on surgical decision making and technological advances in the treatment modalities for this region. Written and edited by senior surgeons at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio, and the world-renowned Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona, this is a comprehensive text that spine and skull base surgeons will refer to often. A conte...
Arteriovenous and Cavernous Malformations
Arteriovenous and Cavernous Malformations, Volume 143, is the latest addition in the ongoing HCN series, an evidence-based compendium which addresses both the scientific and clinical aspects of this unique disease process. The volume covers didactic aspects, such as the epidemiology, etiology, and diagnosis of AVMs, while also providing expert clinical information on the management and treatment of these lesions. In addition, it provides coverage of modern-day advances in the genetics of cavernous malformations, as well as discussion regarding future open research questions. Readers from the laboratory bench to the bedside can expect a broad, yet objective, review of this pathology, with upd...
Controversies in Neuroendoscopy
A unique perspective on neuroendoscopic versus microsurgical techniques from world-renowned neurosurgeons In the last two decades, neuroendoscopy has evolved from a fringe neurosurgical tool to an established subspecialty focusing on the treatment of diverse cranial and spinal diseases. Today, neuroendoscopic technology is widely used to treat supratentorial diseases, skull base pathologies, craniocervical diseases, and spinal pathologies. Despite the expanded use of neuroendoscopy across several subspecialties, its benefits and disadvantages versus those of traditional microsurgical methods remain highly controversial. Contradictory evidence in the neurosurgical literature adds to the surgi...

Written by a world-class team of multidisciplinary experts, here is the first definitive reference on these two highly challenging tumors occurring in the skull base and spine. Covering everything from their embryology and pathology, clinical presentation and diagnosis, radiologic appearance, surgical treatment, radiation therapy, and prognosis, it is the most comprehensive book ever written on the topic. Special features: All available information on these tumors packed into a single volume High-quality illustrations that make anatomy and surgical approach crystal-clear Contributorst include: Albert Rhoton Jr., Harry Van Loveren, Laligam Sekhar, Robert Spetzler, and Chandranath Sen Includes alternative methods of treatment, ranging from surgery to radiation modalities, with recurrence and outcome assessment For all specialists who treat tumors of the skull base and spine, including neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists–head and neck surgeons, ophthalmologic surgeons, and orthopedic surgeons.
The Craniotomy Atlas
"… the neurosurgical primer that every resident will own and study" - Robert Spetzler Given that the great majority of brain surgeries are preceded by a craniotomy, mastering the procedure is essential for junior residents. Choosing the appropriate craniotomy and executing it safely is the difference between a straightforward case with good access to the target and a procedure where access to the target is needlessly traumatic and may even be impossible. Professor Raabe's The Craniotomy Atlas provides precise instructions for performing all common neurosurgical cranial exposures, including: convexity approaches, midline approaches, skull base approaches, transsphenoidal approaches and more...
Intraoperative MRI-Guided Neurosurgery
The definitive reference on intraoperative MR-guided neurosurgery Comprehensive in scope and packed with practical information, Intraoperative MR-Guided Neurosurgery contains detailed coverage of this state-of-the-art technology from the pioneers who developed it. Renowned neurosurgeons and neuroradiologists combine their collective wisdom and experience to demonstrate how MR-guided neuronavigation can be used to view real-time images of a patient's brain during surgery to help remove tumors with greater precision. The authors provide step-by-step descriptions of how to perform procedures, including advice based on their clinical results. Readers will learn about the advantages and drawbacks...
Neurosurgical Operative Atlas: Spine and Peripheral Nerves
Updated atlas reflects state-of-the-art advances in spine and peripheral nerve procedures Written by a Who's Who of renowned spine surgeons, the third edition of Neurosurgical Atlas: Spine and Peripheral Nerves provides a detailed tutorial on the latest surgical procedures. The three comprehensive spine sections cover decompression modalities followed by fusion/instrumentation and fixation. Rounding out these sections are special topics such as vascular malformations in the spinal cord, stereotactic radiosurgery in the thoracic spine, and lumboperitoneal shunting. The peripheral nerves section includes treatment of conditions including carpal tunnel, brachial plexus, meralgia paresthetica, a...
