This book highlights the successful collaboration of plastic surgeons,
neurosurgeons, and, in some cases, ENT, maxillofacial, oral, and oculoplastic
surgeons, in treating some of the most complex craniofacial, skull-based,
intracranial, and spinal problems. Beginning with the basic principles of wound
healing and flap rotation, you will find full discussions of craniofacial
anomalies, skull base tumors, scalp closures, skull defects, management
techniques for spinal dysraphism, and much more.

Key features:

This text provides insights into current trends and controversial issues
regarding state-of-the-art techniques in neurosurgery, interventional
neuroradiology, and endovascular surgery. The authors confront such questions
as: Are unruptured aneurysms managed most effectively by neurosurgical clipping
or endovascular coiling? Is surgery or endovascular coiling the best treatment
for ruptured cerebral aneurysms of the anterior or posterior cerebral
circulation? In managing arteriovenous malformations and fistulas, should
clinicians use neurointerventional...

Derived from Harvey Cushing's remarkable personal collection in the Brain
Tumor Registry, The Legacy of Harvey Cushing: Profiles of Patient Care presents a stunning historical account of Cushing's surgical
cases and research from 1905 to 1930.

This beautifully illustrated book features
800 of Cushing's surgical drawings and photographs of patients and tumor
specimens. Preserved untouched for sixty years in the Yale University Library,
the images provide the earliest catalog of neurological and neuropathological
disease and reveal the techniques...

Tumor Neurosurgery provides information on the basic knowledge and clinical management required for optimal care of neurooncology patients. Providing an up-to-date synopsis of the field of tumor neurosurgery, the book covers the most common sites and tumor pathologies encountered by neurosurgeons. The chapters are organized under broad topics, including investigative studies, perioperative care and the role of newer techniques. The clinical management of CNS tumors in adults and children is described, including spinal tumors, both intradural and extradural. This book provides coverage of...

A definitive summary of novel techniques, this 1st volume in the New Technologies Series details the most current and multidisciplinary approach to new technologies used in general plastic, hand, peripheral nerve, microsurgery, breast, esthetic, and trauma surgery and provides an overview of the most important and clinically relevant plastic surgery research.

New surgical images of new surgical approaches are all accompanied with anatomical descriptions. In a novel way it contains endoscopic images from minimally invasive procedures and provides the most current overview of...

All over the world research is going on to improve the outcome of the treatment of peripheral nerve lesions. Questions over questions arise. Is the autologeous nerve grafting still the golden standard in bridging defects? Have alternative techniques to overcome defects reached a level to replace autografting? To which length are they effective? What is the role of allografting? Are there still indications for vascularized nerve grafts? What can be expected from end to side coaptation? Does it exist at all? Under what conditions useful recoveries can be achieved? Are there new developments...

This volume covers stereotactic principles and functional stereotaxis. Amongst the stereotactic principles are discussions of frame-based and frameless systems of stereotaxis, image guidance stereotaxis, atlases and the technical aspects of radiosurgery. Within functional neurosurgery, disorders covered include the diagnosis and management of pain, epilepsy, movement disorders and the rediscovered field of surgery for psychiatric disorders.
