Today the phrase "Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery" characterizes numerous neurosurgical technologies, techniques and interventions. This book summarizes all facets of this new and rapidly developing field in neurosurgery. Beside neuroendoscopy the main topics are neuronavigation, functional neurosurgery, radiosurgery, neurotransplantation and molecular neurosurgery. Although these topics are not discussed in their full variety, the state of the art and future perspectives of minimally invasive neurosurgery are presented.
A comprehensive overview of the state of the art and future perspectives in minimally invasive neurosurgery * Describes and evalutes new surgical techniques and new technology * Special attention given to the results of the MINOP project conducted at the research center in Karlsruhe
