Minimally invasive spinal surgery has made tremendous strides in the past
decade, with advances in instrumentation and techniques rapidly changing the
scope of these procedures. Highlighted by nearly 650 high-quality images, this
is the first text to comprehensively review the critical aspects and
developments in the field. It features in-depth guidelines and approaches for
performing cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine surgery; percutaneous
procedures; and image-guided and robotic surgery. You will also find key
discussions of minimally invasive interbody...

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:

• Nearly 300...

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...

Here is complete coverage of state-of-the-art surgical techniques for managing diseases of the brain, spine and peripheral nerves. This two-volume atlas is an ideal reference for review in preparation for surgery. Each volume features succinct discussion of pathology and etiology that helps the reader gain a firm understanding of the underlying disease and conditions. The authors provide step-by-step descriptions of surgical techniques, clearly delineating the indications and contraindications, the goals, the operative preparation and anesthesia, and postoperative management. Common...

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...

Dynamic Reconstruction of the Spine is an essential reference on the current techniques and equipment for dynamic stabilization of the spine.

Covering both anterior and posterior approaches to dynamic stabilization, the book presents a complete overview of the state-of-the-art technologies in spinal arthroplasty and instrumentation for dynamic stabilization. Each chapter of this authoritative text focuses on a different technology. The authors illuminate the key concepts of each implant device and provide concise discussion of the rationale, indications,...

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...
