Opis

This book is designed to provide practicing neurosurgeons with current knowledge on the practical aspects of surgical treatment of patients with Parkinson's disease. It explains how to identify surgical candidates and determine the optimal surgery, describes the various surgical techniques that are currently employed, and offers insights into how to optimize deep brain stimulation therapy after implantation. The keys to avoidance of surgical complications are carefully elucidated. In addition, an overview is provided of potential advances on the near-term horizon, including closed-loop deep brain stimulation, gene therapy, and optogenetics. All topics are covered by experienced Parkinson's disease surgeons, in a concise and digestable format. The book will be an ideal source of information for the many practicing neurosurgeons who would like to add deep brain stimulation to their practice, as well as an excellent update on new developments in surgery for Parkinson's disease.

Recenzje

"Advanced and is written with surgeons in mind. It is a well-done resource for neurosurgeons who aim to add this treatment modality to their practice. It would also be valuable for residents and medical students. ... This well-written book offers a concise guide to the use of deep brain stimulation in patients with Parkinson's disease. It covers important topics such as pathology, indications, and surgical technique, and discusses the various deep brain targets and their respective likelihood of recovery." (Zayed Amer Almadidy, Doody's Book Reviews, June 21, 2019)
