This book covers the explosion of new information about the
relationship between the brain and its blood supply since the first
edition was published in 2009. With new knowledge and its impact on
clinical care, neurovascular neuropsychology has become a
recognized sub-specialty that has been integrated into health care
systems in the US and abroad. The second edition brings to this
larger audience the latest word on these matters, with new emphasis
on women's issues, relevance to the pediatric population, insights
from modern imaging, and advances in medical and surgical
treatments such as heart transplantation, cardiovascular
transarterial therapies, and noninvasive brain stimulation in
connection with neurocognitive outcomes.

Founded by four Swiss surgeons in 1958, AO Spine is a premier
knowledge provider in spine surgery and at the forefront of
education and research. Endorsed by AO Spine, this book is a
comprehensive guide to the management of spinal disorders.
Beginning with a general overview of the spine and its physiology
and biomechanics, the next section extensively covers the
paediatric spine and associated disorders. The following sections
discuss conditions found in the different anatomical sections of
the spine - cervical, thoracic and lumbosacral - and their history,
physical examination, diagnosis and surgical and non-operative
management techniques. The final part of the book explores future
trends in spine surgery. Authored by leading US-based neuro and
orthopaedic surgeons, this textbook is highly illustrated with more
than 650 surgical images, diagrams and tables. Key points
Comprehensive guide to surgical and non-operative management of
spinal disorders Endorsed by AO Spine committee Covers diagnosis
and treatment of numerous conditions in each section of the spine

In reflecting upon my life as a neurosurgeon, perhaps the most
salient feature is that period of history involved. Trained by men
who studied under Harvey Cushing, considered the father of
neurological surgery, we, as early third-generation neurosurgeons,
were held to those rigid standards of academic achievement and
physical endurance typical of that time. The reader first
identifies with the young child who dreams of becoming a doctor,
and then sets out on that long path. He then re-lives the
experiences of the student of medicine, and later the rigorous
demands placed upon the surgeon-in-training. During the later
descriptions of the private practice of brain and spinal surgery,
the book transitions into an educational experience. It presents to
the reader a multitude of neurological disorders requiring surgical
treatment, the relevant surgical anatomy and the operative
techniques involved. Often interjected are the intangibles of
surgical judgment and philosophy when confronting those in pain or
critically ill. Of equal importance were the major scientific
advancements which occurred during that period of medical history.
No longer did we have to bore a hole in the skull, or inject
noxious materials into the head or spinal canal to verify a
diagnosis. Rather, we had been privileged to enjoy the development
of such remarkable machines as the ultrasound, CAT, and MRI.
Descriptions of these devices, among others, and their impact on
medical practice should prove interesting to the inquisitive
reader. After 21 years in practice, and probably at the height of
my career as a surgeon, I contracted hepatitis B subsequent to an
accidental needle puncture in the operating room. Forced to lay
down the scalpel, I turned to my second childhood dream, cattle
ranching, as an alternative vocation. This then becomes a secondary
focus of the book. A medical colleague, after learning of my book,
expressed an interest in learning the common denominator driving a
man to both neurosurgery and ranching. One can summarize with the
word, "counterpoise." I had always strived to achieve a balance
between the in-hospital, academic, precision-oriented work of the
neurosurgeon and the outdoor, physically-demanding life of a
rancher consummating the total American dream. Analogous to surgery
I have always enjoyed using my hands in the shop. Throughout the
book sections have been devoted to various aspects of woodworking,
and an effort not only to share my enthusiasm but also to expose
underlying problems and pitfalls; challenges I have encountered in
striving to become an artisan of fine furniture. The practice of
medicine has undergone significant change during my lifetime. Not
only have I witnessed a burgeoning, unsustainable increase in the
cost of healthcare, but also major changes in the way in which
medicine is being practiced in the new millennium. Having been a
proud product of the "Lucky Few" generation, born between the years
1929 and 1945, I am rightfully able to compare today's practice of
medicine with those of the latter half of the 20th century.
Oncoplastic breast cancer surgery is one of the fastest-growing
domains in breast surgery. This approach is continuing to gain
practice acceptance due to increased emphasis on both optimum
cosmetic outcome and maintenance of a sound oncologic basis. This
book summarizes the basic principles and techniques using
evidence-based data. Patient images and comprehensive drawings
complete this practical guide for surgeons who treat diseases of
the breast.
Most of the developments in perioperative medicine the 20th century
were focused on the establishment of standard monitors, biomarkers,
and outcomes measures for the cardiovascular and respiratory
systems, with marked improvements in perioperative safety. The
fields of anesthesiology and perioperative medicine have now
shifted to the consideration of the nervous system. Complications
such as delirium, cognitive decline, anesthetic neurotoxicity,
stroke and other devastating nervous system events are only now
developing significant scientific and clinical attention. Yet there
has been no single reference to serve as a guide for the clinician
or the investigator in this area. Neurologic Outcomes of Surgery
and Anesthesia fills this gap in perioperative medicine literature
and provides a concise yet thorough overview of adverse outcomes
involving the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves. Rather than
being organized by type of operation, each chapter in this
invaluable resource is devoted to a specific adverse outcome. Every
outcome is reviewed in an easy-to-follow format that includes an
introduction to the clinical problem, a section on incidence,
prevalence, and outcomes, an assessment of risk factors,
discussions of preventive strategies, treatment, and current
recommendations, a conclusion, and references.
