This wonderfully illustrated atlas serves as a companion to the 3rd edition of Cheek's PEDIATRIC NEUROSURGERY. It describes many technologically important procedures, and includes chapters on scalp flaps and injuries, surgery for subdural and epidural hematomas, skull tumor resection, dorsal rhizotomy, resection, approach to the skull base, ventriculoscopy, shunting, brachial plexus and peripheral nerve repair, and more.

This atlas of pediatric neurosurgery describes and demonstrates the spectrum of operations to treat the major disorders, including congenital malformations, hydrocephalus, tumors, vascular and functional disorders, and trauma. The chapters present state of the art techniques and are written by nationally recognized authorities. The text serves as a companion to Principles and Practice of Pediatric Neurosurgery.

This book brings together state of the art endosurgical techniques on abdominal, gastrointestinal, colorectal and thoracic operations in children, as well as operations of upper urological tract. Each chapter is complemented by a corresponding video of the described procedure, featuring critical maneuvers, useful tips, and alternative approaches. The book itself summarizes each operation, containing illustrations about positioning in the operation theatre, the most important steps of the surgical procedures and the managing of possible complications. The videos are accessible through different devices including desktop or laptop computers, tablets, as well as smartphones, allowing both novice and experienced surgeons to review the procedures on the go, during rounds, or in the operating room. The book and accompanying videos are therefore an invaluable guide for pediatric surgeons as well as young surgeons at the start of their career.

At last, a much-needed route map to pediatric neuropathology. Up to now a comprehensive volume covering of pediatric neuropathology simply did not exist. This atlas is thus a unique, all-encompassing reference providing material on the fundamentals of brain disorders of the nervous system that can affect fetuses, infants and young children, as well as the essentials of diagnosis in developmental brain pathology and neuroimaging. Emphasising the characteristic morphology and a concise summary of clinical features, pathogenesis, and genetics, the generously illustrated atlas presents more than 100 disorders. This compilation is a valuable resource for pathologists, pediatric neurologists and neurosurgeons, geneticists, neonatologists, radiologists, and pediatricians.
