This book covers all aspects of awake craniotomy, including preoperative management, intraoperative handling, and postoperative follow-ups. It will be discussed preoperative preparedness, essential neurocognitive assessments, and how to provide a patient for cooperative operation step by step. Intraoperative requirements and appropriate neuro-monitoring will be pointed out along with surgical nuances accompany by helpful photographs. Finally, the postoperative management, how we should control the patient in the short-term and long-term, and what investigations are necessary postoperatively will be explained. This book will assist neurosurgeons in negotiating the steep learning curve involved in gaining the skills needed to perform awake surgery of brain tumors, which offers significant advantages in terms of avoidance of preventable neurological deficits besides obtaining optimal outcome. Indeed, primary audiences of this work are neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuroscientists, and neuro-anesthesiologists, and it will contain neuropsychiatry, neurosciences, neurology, neurosurgery, anesthesiology, and neurophysiologic contents.
"… the neurosurgical primer that every resident will own and study" - Robert Spetzler Given that the great majority of brain surgeries are preceded by a craniotomy, mastering the procedure is essential for junior residents. Choosing the appropriate craniotomy and executing it safely is the difference between a straightforward case with good access to the target and a procedure where access to the target is needlessly traumatic and may even be impossible. Professor Raabe's The Craniotomy Atlas provides precise instructions for performing all common neurosurgical cranial exposures, including: convexity approaches, midline approaches, skull base approaches, transsphenoidal approaches and more...
This book takes readers on a journey around the world and through time, accompanied by a modern neurosurgeon who reviews historical techniques and instruments used for cranial opening. The author draws on original medical and surgical books to provide a comprehensive history of these techniques and tools. To complement the general overview and offer readers a more ‘hands-on’ sense of context and atmosphere, extensive historical references, stories, media news and illustrative cases have been included for each historical and geographical scenario. In addition, original illustrations and plates of these archaic instruments and techniques are supplied. Neurosurgical surgeons, nurses, technicians, medical historiographers, paleo-pathologists and researchers interested in surgical techniques for cranial opening will find the volume a valuable guide, intended to increase the historical and cultural awareness of this core topic in neurological surgery.

This work demonstrates a highly intuitive robot for Surgical Craniotomy Procedures. Utilising a wheeled hand-held robot, to navigate the Craniotomy Drill over a patient's skull, the system does not remove the surgeons from the procedure, but supports them during this critical phase of the operation.
A step-by-step guide to modern techniques of keyhole brain surgery Developed 20 years ago by leading innovators in the field, the keyhole concept of brain surgery has become an integral part of the practice of neurosurgery. This timely and comprehensive book covers the thinking, philosophy, and techniques of modern keyhole brain surgery, including a realistic assessment of its benefits and limitations. Written by expert practitioners and highlighted by vivid surgical illustrations and procedural videos, Principles and Practice of Keyhole Brain Surgery functions as an experienced mentor working side by side with neurosurgeons as they master the techniques. Special Features: Introduces the bas...
Step into the remarkable journey of resilience and hope with Life After a Craniotomy Operation. Our brain, often compared to a computer perched atop our heads, serves as the epicentre of our existence, enabling us to navigate the complexities of modern life and its myriad highs and lows. However, when illness strikes, rendering simple tasks impossible, fear takes hold, and the words of a wise consultant resonate deeply: fright, flight, fight—an embodiment of our struggle. But what if a dedicated team of neuroscientists offers a lifeline? They extend a helping hand, emphasizing the pivotal word: ‘help.’ In that moment, how would you respond? Would you eagerly embrace the opportunity, ex...
Technological progress in neurosurgery - preoperative investigation of the exact anatomy of the patient, detailed planning of the procedure, and use of endoscopes and videosurgery – have made approaches for intracranial microsurgical procedures smaller compared to historically standard neurosurgical approaches. Building on the previous works "Endoscopic Anatomy for Neurosurgery" and "Keyhole Concept in Neurosurgery," this book offers a systematic overview of keyhole approaches in the daily work of a neurosurgeon. The approaches, strategies, indications and technical details described here are complemented by anatomical pictures, schemes, and artists’ illustrations, and analyzed with regard to geometric boundaries and the topography of the target structures.
