This book covers stereotactic principles as well as functional stereotaxis, covering the history and uses of the techniques, treatments for specific conditions, and future developments. Includes a DVD demonstrating surgical procedures.
This publication reflects the most current and exciting developments in the field of stereotactic radiosurgery today. It marks the second volume in the book series 'Radiosurgery', which is the official peer-reviewed publication of the International Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society. This latest volume includes long-term data on benign tumors, and evaluations on the role of whole-brain fractionated radiation therapy in patients with solitary metastases. Multicenter studies, methods to evaluate our data, grading scales, and novel irradiation approaches, together with technological improvements, characterize the new drive in this direction and form an important part of this book. It provides a ...
“Practical Handbook of Neurosurgery” invites readers to take part in a journey through the vast field of neurosurgery, in the company of internationally renowned experts. At a time when the discipline is experiencing a (detrimental) tendency to segment into various subfields and scatter in the process, it can be worthwhile to collect a number of practical lessons gleaned from experienced and leading neurosurgeons. The book also aims to present numerous important figures in the neurosurgical community, with a brief overview of the vitae and main contributions for each. We must confess that we were sad that some of the most active members were unable to participate, likely due to time cons...
This book attempts to combine many different threads into a comprehensible whole. Since the subject is the Gamma Knife and the author is a neurosurgeon, the field of clinical interest is restricted to intracranial pathology. The discipline of radiosurgery now applies to patients who may reasonably be referred by internists, neurologists, otolaryngologists, endocrinologists and several others. Some of the topics, touched upon, such as stereotaxy and the construction of a radio surgical instrument are unfamiliar to the majority of medical men. Other topics, such as those pertaining to the reactions between radiation and living tissue, are not exactly unfamiliar and yet, for most of us, they ar...
This new volume covers a wide range of topics in neurosurgery such as the evaluation of radiosurgery versus conventional microsurgery. Reports from the 2001 meeting of the International Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society include the most current information on advanced radiosurgical approaches to patients with benign and malignant brain tumors, vascular malformations, and functional disorders. New radiosurgical technologies are reviewed, including the use of new imaging techniques. Device quality assurance and physics applications are discussed. The expanding field of extracranial radiosurgery is addressed. The publication is of special interest to neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and neurologists who require the most up-to-date information on the use of stereotactic radiosurgery for neurologic diseases.
Gamma knife radiosurgery is a minimally-invasive treatment alternative for intracranial disorders, including tumors, vascular malformations, facial pain and epilepsy. This book will allow the reader to learn when gamma knife radiosurgery is appropriate and what to expect as treatment results.
This volume offers a comprehensive discussion of the stereotactic frames, frameless systems, and radiosurgical procedures utilized in the treatment and control of movement and neurological disorders, Parkinson's disease, chronic pain, spasticity, tumours, epilepsy, and arteriovenous malformations.
During the last few years stereotactic radiosurgery has become a partner of equal rank within the discipline of neurosurgery. Today it is regarded as being of the same importance as microsurgery and endovascular neurosurgery, branches which have also progressed rapidly in recent years. Breakthrough success, however, requires a combined effort of all partners involved. The editors have brought together leading experts in the fields of neurosurgery, neuroradiology, neurology, neuropathology, neuroanatomy, radiation oncology, and biophysics to discuss indications and therapeutic strategies in the treatment of arteriovenous malformations and intracranial tumors and to find a common basis for their future work.
A comprehensive review of current tactics in the therapeutic management of Parkinson's disease, this volume offers summaries of salient research findings as well as contemporary attitudes and practical advice from field specialists. The well-timed Third Edition is expanded and topically reorganized to register trends and progress in anti-parkinsoni
This book is a comprehensive review of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT): its physics, clinical evidence, indications, and future directions. The utilization of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is increasing internationally because of several factors. First, it offers patients a local treatment option that has demonstrated effectiveness similar to traditional surgery without the morbidity of general anesthesia and open surgical resection. Second, recent advancements in the quality of scientific evidence supporting a SRS or SBRT-containing approach in patients continues to evolve and demonstrate favorab...
