In this book, Dr. Michael Lawton shares his expertise and lessons learned
from his years of dedication to vascular neurosurgery. He describes his take on
AVMs in the preface as a battle and his book contains many take-home lessons.
His presentation is enhanced by the spectacular intraoperative color images and
illustrations drawn by Kenneth X. Probst. With no reservations, I highly
recommend this book to all neurosurgeons. -- Doody's Enterprises,

This sequel to Dr. Lawton's best-selling Seven Aneurysms focuses on
microsurgical resection techniques for AVMs found in the lobes and deep regions
of the brain. It categorizes the techniques into subtypes to simplify the broad
spectrum of brain AVMs neurosurgeons may encounter. The book is organized into
three sections: The Tenets, which establishes eight steps for AVM resection; The
Seven Arteriovenous Malformations, which describes the anatomical terrain and
surgical strategies for thirty-two AVM subtypes; and The Selection section, in
which Dr. Lawton discusses what he believes to be the keys to successful AVM
surgery: good patient selection and best application of multiple treatment
modalities. Key Features:

• Includes more than
  700 spectacular full-color illustrations developed exclusively for this
  book
• Creates a system for conceptualizing and approaching
  AVMs
• Illustrates a stepwise process for AVM resection using
  strategic "battle plans"

Summarizing the common AVMs encountered in practice, neurosurgeons and
neurosurgical residents will find this hybrid atlas-text to be an essential part
of their armamentarium.
