Textbook of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery

Beschreibung

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 volume covers stereotactic principles and functional stereotaxis. Amongst the stereotactic principles are discussions of frame-based and frameless systems of stereotaxis, image guidance stereotaxis, atlases and the technical aspects of radiosurgery. Within functional neurosurgery, disorders covered include the diagnosis and management of pain, epilepsy, movement disorders and the rediscovered field of surgery for psychiatric disorders.

State-of- the art appraisal of the field of stereotactic and functional neurosurgery

Integrates the knowledge and experience of leading international authorities

DVD video included

Online edition linked to various Springer journals in Neurosurgery

Here is a comprehensive, up-to-date view of both the underlying principles and the current practice of this highly sophisticated, minimally invasive approach to neurosurgical intervention. Coverage spans the principles of frame-based and frameless systems of stereotaxis, image guidance stereotaxis, atlases and the technical aspects of radiosurgery. Written with the contributions of leading international experts, the book includes chapter-length discussions of Movement Disorders; Cancer Pain; Treatment of Persistent Non-Cancer Pain; Evaluation of Epilepsy; Management of Epilepsy and Surgery for Psychiatric Disorders.

From the book reviews:

“The beginning chronicles the History of Stereotactic Neurosurgery throughout every culture and nation in the world. … The book if primarily for neurosurgeons. The text is clearly the best that has ever been written for stereotactic surgery.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, August, 2014)

“The main purpose is to address the major advances in this area, particularly related to the technological developments that have been behind the continuous progress in the field in the 60 years since its introduction. Neurosurgeons, neurologists, radiation oncologists, neuro-oncologists, and radiation physicists are the main audience. … This is a needed update. … It is well worth its price.” (Celso Agner, Doody’s Review Service, March, 2010)
