Tumors involving peripheral nerves may be extremely challenging
lesions to diagnose and treat. In order to optimize their
management, physicians should have a thorough knowledge of
peripheral nerve anatomy and pathology (both gross and
microscopic), as well as familiarity with microsurgical techniques
and intraoperative neurophysiological recording. This compendium
deals with all aspects of tumors affecting peripheral nerves, from
diagnosis to treatment; the topics it addresses range from
epidemiology, anatomy, physiology, pathology, and clinical
diagnosis to electrophysiology, imaging, genetic/cytomolecular
aspects. Surgical approaches, biopsies and resection of various
benign, malignant and pseudo-tumoral lesions, plexus tumors (both
brachial and lumbosacral), and adjunctive treatment modalities and
pain-related issues are described in detail. The book is intended
not only for neurosurgeons, hand surgeons, plastic and orthopedic
surgeons new to the field, but also for seasoned specialists who
wish to update their knowledge with new insights based on robust
experimental and clinical material. In addition, it will be a
helpful tool for general and oncological surgeons who are sometimes
faced with the treatment of mass lesions that may be potential
nerve tumors, and for all practitioners who are engaged in the
arduous struggle to bring relief to patients affected by these
lesions.
