editore: Plural Publishing Inc
pagine: 140
The introduction of the endoscope for neurosurgical procedures began with great promise. It was developed to provide a magnified anatomical view of the ventricular system in a minimally invasive manner. The early endoscopes were too primitive for the majority of procedures performed today. The advent of illumination, optical systems, and modern endoscopes allow the neurosurgeon to perform these previously inoperable cases. This book introduces all aspects of the modern endoscope system, physics of optics, and all the techniques of intracranial neuroendoscopy. This is a must-have book for all levels of surgeons, residents, operating room staff, and anyone who wants to learn about endoscopy and its potential applications.

editore: Thieme Publishing Group
pagine: 138
Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are two new procedures introduced in the past five years to treat pain from osteoporotic compression fractures. These procedures are carried out by neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and interventional radiologists - and the popularity of these procedures is growing. Because vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty were introduced recently, there is little information available on them. This book will fill this gap in literature.
Neurosurgery of Complex Vascular Lesions and Tumors
Shigeaki Kobayashi
editore: Thieme Publishing Group
pagine: 354
This is the first organized book on complex, difficult and informative surgical cases submitted by specialists in neurosurgery from around the world.

This book is designed to carry the techniques, the knowledge and the experience of the surgically difficult and complex cases in the surgery of cerebrovascular diseases and brain tumors. The book includes two parts: cerebrovascular diseases and brain tumors. Each chapter is composed of 50 case reports written by world reknown neurosurgeons. A case report includes problem and tactics (of this case), case report (including history, operation, and postoperative course), and discussion and references (less than 10), all of which is followed by the comments from a neurosurgical specialist. The text is short and concise. Neuroimaging photographs and self-explanatory operative sketches are used to help readers better understand the content.
