Atlas of Neurosurgical Techniques: Brain presents the current information on how to manage diseases and disorders of the brain. Ideal as a reference for review in preparation for surgery, this atlas 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 complications of techniques are also emphasized. Over 900 illustrations aid the rapid comprehension of the surgical procedures described in the text. Highlights: Clear descriptions of the surgical management of aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, occlusive and hemorrhagic vascular diseases, tumors, lesions, pain disorders, trauma, infections, and more Detailed discussion of disease pathology, etiology, and differential diagnosis Concise outlines of indications, contraindications, as well as advantages and disadvantages of each technique illuminate the rationale behind surgical management More than 900 illustrations, including 684 in full-color, demonstrate key concepts Sections on the latest techniques in stereotactic and minimally invasive surgery This companion volume to Atlas of Neurosurgical Techniques: Spine and Peripheral Nerves is an essential reference for all neurosurgeons and residents seeking the current information on state-of-the-art techniques in brain surgery.

This volume, part of the second edition of the classic Neurosurgical Operative Atlas series, presents the latest techniques for managing the full range of spinal and peripheral nerve problems. Each chapter addresses a different surgical procedure, guiding the reader through patient selection, preoperative preparation, anesthetic techniques, patient monitoring, and surgical techniques and outcomes. The authors also discuss common complications and offer tips for how to avoid and manage them. Spine and Peripheral Nerves is ideal for residents to study and for established surgeons seeking a quick refresher in preparation for surgery. Neurosurgeons, orthopedists, and plastic surgeons will benefit from the wealth of information provided in this up-to-date clinical reference. Highlights: Renowned experts in the field share their clinical insights and extensive experience Concise, step-by-step descriptions enable the reader to rapidly review techniques More than 750 illustrations and images demonstrate key concepts Organized by anatomical location to aid quick reference Series description:The American Association of Neurological Surgeons and Thieme have collaborated to produce the second edition of the acclaimed Neurosurgical Operative Atlas series. Edited by leading experts in the field, the series covers the entire spectrum of neurosurgery in five volumes. In addition to Spine and Peripheral Nerves, the series also features:Neuro-Oncology, edited by Behnam Badie Vascular Neurosurgery, edited by R. Loch MacdonaldFunctional Neurosurgery, edited by Philip Starr, Nicholas M. Barbaro, and Paul LarsonPediatric Neurosurgery, edited by James Tait Goodrich

From reviews of previous volumes: Ranks with the very best previous attempts at codifying neurosurgical operations. The attention to detail is excellent... -The New England Journal of Medicine A valuable addition to any library...I would recommend it to all neurosurgeons with an interest in cerebrovascular disease...The operative photographs are of extremely high quality.-Chicago Medicine The final volume in the acclaimed series provides coverage of the anatomy, surgical approaches, and techniques involved in performing cerebral revascularization. Filled with over 2,000 vibrant images, it provides the visual instruction neurosurgeons need. Highlights include: A complete section detailing intracranial vasculature and anatomy of the spinal cord A case material section featuring a rich diversity of clinical situations to illustrate a variety of microsurgical techniques Thorough coverage of bypasses, reconstructions, and the use of endarterectomy to achieve revascularization Presentation of both surgical and endovascular techniques for re-establishing blood flow through the carotid and cerebral arteries Information on tumors of the spinal cord and spinal vascular malformations, particularly cavernous and arteriovenous malformations

A highly-anticipated addition to Thieme's classic color atlas collection, Color Atlas of Cerebral Revascularization focuses on cerebral bypass techniques pioneered by leading surgeons at the world-renowned Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona. Each procedure is presented with intraoperative photographs and exquisite anatomical illustrations to help surgeons master the complex microsurgical anatomy and subtle surgical technique used in managing the potential onset and condition of stroke and other causes of cerebral ischemia. Key Features: Side-by-side photo and illustration format aids in interpretation of intricate surgical procedures More than 1300 figures elucidate clinical cases from the Barrow Neurological Institute and other centers of neurosurgical excellence A DVD, featuring more than 30 related surgical cases and narrated by the authors, is included with the book Cases illustrate how to successfully achieve revascularization for conditions such as moyamoya disease, recurrent aneurysms after endovascular treatment, giant aneurysms, vertebral artery insufficiency, and severe stenosis The vascular anatomy related to each bypass technique is illustrated and described in the sections showcasing the clinical cases treated by the technique This comprehensive atlas is an ideal reference for practicing neurosurgeons, neurosurgical residents, and interventional neuroradiologists, and it will be a relevant volume in their medical library for years to come.

Electronic book available in pdf format.
