NEUROSURGICAL OPERATIVE ATLAS: VASCULAR NEUROSURGERY + ONLINE AT MED-ONLINE VIDEOS

DESCRIPTION

Astate-of-the-art neurovascular surgery atlas from internationally renownedneurosurgeon R. Loch Macdonald

Neurosurgical Operative Atlas: Vascular Neurosurgery, ThirdEdition, by R.Loch Macdonald and expert contributors, reflects the latest advances inendoscopic, endovascular, microsurgical, and bypass techniques used in thetreatment of cerebrovascular disease. The entireatlas has been streamlined and updated with new content, including 38 videosthat complement the concise step-by-step guidance in the text.

The book begins with five chapters on vascularand microsurgical instrumentation and equipment, clipping versus coiling,aneurysm surgery techniques, the pterional approach,and minimally invasive approaches. Disease and procedure-specific chapters areorganized by three sections: aneurysms and subarachnoid hemorrhage,vascular malformations, and ischemic and other cerebrovasculardisease. Every chapter includes salient tips on patient selection andprocedural indications, preoperative information and tests, patientpositioning, operative nuances, and postoperative complications.

Key Highlights

·       Nearly300 high-quality color illustrations detail impactedanatomy and procedures

·       Thelatest techniques for treating a full spectrum of aneurysms, such as ophthalmicsegment, supraclinoid internal carotid artery, middleand anterior cerebral artery, basilar and  posterior cerebral artery, and others

·       Treatmentof vascular abnormalities including arteriovenousmalformations, superficial and brainstem cavernous malformations, arteriovenous fistulae, Moyamoyadisease, and more

Neurosurgical residents will benefit from thefirsthand knowledge shared by international masters, while veteranneurosurgeons will glean invaluable insights on cutting-edge endovasculartechniques to enhance clinical practice.
