This book illustrates and discusses key points related to intra- and postoperative complications of brain, spine and peripheral nerve surgery, and covers the majority of neurosurgical subspecialties, including skull base surgery, brain tumor surgery, vascular and endovascular neurosurgery, neuroendoscopy, functional neurosurgery, spine surgery, peripheral nerve surgery, radiosurgery and radiotherapy. In addition, it considers related medicolegal, ethical and philosophical aspects. Including material that represents the combined proceedings of the First International Conference on Complications in Neurosurgery (March 3-5, 2017; Mumbai, India) and the dedicated symposium “Complications in Neurosurgery” during the XVI Congress of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (August 20-25, 2017; Istanbul, Turkey), the articles in this volume were written by recognized experts in the field and based both on their personal experience and the latest scientific evidence. It offers a valuable reference guide, providing detailed recommendations on the prevention and management of complications in neurosurgery.
Most cerebrovascular diseases such as intracranial aneurysms (IA), arterio-venous malformations (AVM) or dural fistulas (AVF) can effectively be treated with microsurgical techniques (i.e. clipping) or with endovascular procedures (i.e. coiling). In certain patients, also gamma-knife (radiation) treatment may play a role. Sometimes, the treatment strategy may consist of a staged approach that combines some of the above-mentioned techniques in a serial manner. Likewise, also spinal vascular pathologies (i.e. spinal vascular malformations, spinal dural AV-fistulas or spinal cavernomas) may often be approached with a single treatment modality or, more rare with a staged approach. In selected ca...
Traumatic brain injury is a major source of death and severe disability worldwide. This book provides an excellent and detailed overview of the management of patients with traumatic brain injury, in a stepwise approach, from the intensive care unit, through to discharge from the hospital, rehabilitation, recovery and assimilation in family and society. This book also discusses mechanisms of pathophysiology pertaining to traumatic brain injury and provides grounds for future research in traumatic brain injury, especially pertaining to pathophysiology, imaging, neuroprognostication, rehabilitation, recovery, and outcomes.
Part of the Neurosurgery by Example series, this volume on cerebrovascular neurosurgery presents exemplary cases in which renowned authors guide readers through the assessment and planning, decision making, surgical procedure, after care, and complication management of common and uncommon disorders. Each chapter also contains 'pivot points' that illuminate changes required to manage patients in alternate or atypical situations, and pearls for accurate diagnosis, successful treatment, and effective complication management. Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery is appropriate for neurosurgeons who wish to learn more about a subspecialty, and those preparing for the American Board of Neurological Surgery oral examination.
Seminal resource on state-of-the-art flow diversion techniques from leading neurointerventional experts From detachable balloons and GDC coils to the recent advent of flow diversion, practitioners of endovascular neurosurgery have been fortunate to work in an era of rapid and exciting advances. The first commercially available flow diverter in the U.S. was approved specifically for a small subset of cerebral aneurysms. Recent experience has demonstrated its utility in treating challenging or otherwise untreatable aneurysms, safely and efficaciously. The design of these devices requires learning radically different methods than those used in the deployment of other, non-braided stents. Flow D...

For neurosurgeons, skull base neurosurgery is as complex, dangerous, challenging, and charming as Mount Everest. The vigorous development of neuroendoscopy has opened a new perspective for skull base neurosurgery. Due to the special structure of skull base, there are often "blind spots" left out by microscope, while neuroendoscopy is the promising technology to overcome the defects. With its minimally invasive advantages, neuroendoscopy is gradually becoming popular in neurosurgical operation. In recent years, neuroendoscopic surgery for pituitary adenoma, the anterior skull base and sellar turcica meningioma, clivus chordoma and tumors in the foramen magnum area have been reported, as well as for atlantoaxial lesions. Neuroendoscopy for skull base midline surgical area has attracted accumulating attention, and its application is widely used in basic and clinical research.
