This book describes and illustrates an approach to surgery for
spinal cord tumors that is based on a refined concept of anatomic
compartmentalization. The aim of this approach is to enable maximum
preservation of spinal cord function through confinement of the
surgical work to the involved compartment or compartments.
Importantly, this involvement differs according to tumor type, and
the classification favored by the author takes this fully into
account. After introductory chapters on epidemiology and pathology,
the anatomy of the spinal cord relevant to surgery for spinal cord
tumors is discussed in detail and the proposed classification is
clearly explained. The surgical approach to each of the identified
anatomic compartments is then described, with attention to the
roles of intraoperative mapping techniques, diffusion tensor
imaging, and electrophysiologic studies in ensuring that spinal
cord functions are spared. Examples of the author's experience when
applying the proposed approach are presented. The book is meant for
neurosurgeons at all levels of experience.
