A state-of-the-art guide to evolving functional neurosurgery
approaches from world-renowned innovators Functional neurosurgery
focuses on improving the lives of patients with epilepsy, movement
disorders, pain, and psychiatric illnesses. In recent years,
approaches ranging from open surgery to minimally invasive
techniques have been leveraged to improve daily functioning and
quality of life in people struggling with painful, highly
disruptive, and/or treatment-resistant symptoms. These approaches
focus on reducing or eliminating seizures, alleviating pain,
decreasing abnormal movements or lessening debilitating symptoms
associated with specific psychiatric disorders. Neurosurgical
