This long-awaited second edition has been thoroughly updated and
revised by Dr. Michael Salcman with the assistance of Edward R.
Laws, MD, Roberto Heros, MD, and Volker Sonntag, MD, yet still
preserves the user-friendly aspects of the original book: brevity
and ease of practical application in the operating room
environment.
The long-awaited Second Edition of Kempe's Operative Neurosurgery is being prepared by Dr. Michael Salcman with the assistance of Edward R. Laws, MD (pituitary surgery, epilepsy surgery, peripheral nerve surgery); Roberto Heros, MD (brain surgery, carotid endarterectomy); and Volker Sonntag, MD (spinal surgery). The book will be thoroughly updated and revised, but will preserve the user-friendly aspects of the original book: brevity and ease of practical application in the operating room environment.
Many recent developments in neuro-oncology relevant to clinical
practice have contributed to improved patient care. The most im
portant impact of these developments on treatment may have been a
change in the attitudes of the neuro-oncologists involved in making
decisions regarding patients with gliomas. From an era of
uncertainty which led to therapeutic nihilism, we have entered one
of active interventions based on objective parameters for the treat
ment of gliomas, which may be either slow-growing or rapid kil
lers. The histopathological characteristics of gliomatous lesions
are intriguing, and it is only recently that a clearer picture has
begun to emerge. A group of dedicated neuropathologists has been at
tempting to reach a consensus on pathological classification and
grading, providing an important landmark in the field of neuro
oncology. This book does not mean to provide exhaustive details on
the histopathology of gliomas, but rather highlights the main
problems in an authoritative chapter. This chapter attempts to
guide the reader to a better understanding of all aspects of the
neuropathology of glioma. Neuroradiology has recently seen several
breakthroughs. Im ages unimaginable a decade ago are now providing
us with an al most three-dimensional impression. But the
concomitant illusions and artifacts must also be kept in mind, and
pragmatic ideas are carefully put forward in this book about the
developing body of knowledge concerning the newer imaging
techniques.
