This is the first comprehensive book about surgery on and around
the vertebral artery all along its cervical and intracranial
course. This vessel has been considered for long as out of surgical
reach leaving many different pathologies not or incompletely
treated. The surgical exposure and control of the vertebral artery
not only permit to treat lesions of the vertebral artery wall or
developed in contact to it but also to improve the access to the
intervertebral foramen (tumors, osteophytes), to the anterior
aspect of the spinal cord (tumors, spondylotic spurs), to the
foramen magnum and to the jugular foramen. This book written by
leading experts includes all aspects of vertebral artery surgery
from anatomy to imaging, surgical techniques and pathologies; it is
illustrated by many figures especially operative views and
schematic drawings so that the beginner as well as the experienced
surgeon find useful information. One of the editors of this book
(B. GEORGE) was recently awarded the Olivecrona award for his work
on the surgery of the vertebral artery.
