Opis

Endoscopic neurosurgery has not yet reached the safety and applicability of microsurgery. Endo-neuro-sonography is a new technique aimed at making endoscopy safer by real-time imaging and navigation capacity (brain-radar). The endo-neurosonographic image is a sonographic scan at the tip of the endoscope (mini-CT)providing additional information to the endoscopic view. Endo-Neuro-Sonography is the first book on this new topic, presenting techniques and equipment, anatomical features, and the first clinical series. Schematic drawings, tables and 237 figures (122 in color) offer a precise overview of this technique. The final chapter is dealing with future concepts on minimally invasive neurosurgery and specific reference to ergonomics in neurosurgery."

Recenzje

From the book reviews:

“This is a good monograph on endoscopy of cerebral cysts and hydrocephalus in the pediatric and adult brains. Intraoperative photographs and sonographic images are nicely illustrated side by side using case study pathological approaches. … The diagrams in the book are well done. This book is for very experienced neurosurgeons. And residents/fellows.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, August, 2014)

"In this series, endo-neuro-sonography proved to make neuroendoscopy safer and easier by online and real-time imaging with high resolution"
(Childs Nerv Syst. 2003 March; 19(3):137-44, Epub 2003 Feb 22)

O autorze

Dr. Resch und Professor Perneczky et al have been among the first to have published several papers demonstrating in cadavers the usefulness of  Endo-neuro-surgery as a real time imaging tool in neuroendoscopy.

They have also received the 1st 1997 Rudolf Schindler Award for video demonstrating this technique. Dr. Resch is an endoscopic neurosurgeon particularly know for his extremely good knowledge of the anatomy of the brain.
