Unique neurointerventional surgery resource analyzes landmark
literature to inform optimal patient management The field of
neurointerventional surgery is rapidly expanding with an
ever-accelerating pace of technological innovations. While industry
plays a significant role in designing new technology and defining
indications for its use, practitioners need to evaluate and
determine the most efficacious treatments for their patients.
Neurointerventional Surgery: An Evidence-Based Approach by renowned
endovascular neurosurgeons Min Park, M. Yashar S. Kalani, and
Michael F. Stiefel examines the most common disease states in
neurointerventional surgery through a critical lens. The unique
text leverages evidenced-based data to inform treatment decisions
and improve patient outcomes. The text is organized by 5 sections
and 32 chapters, including the latest state-of-the-art
interventions. Each of the chapters provides critical analysis of
the "landmark papers" that established the foundation and standards
for modern neurointerventional practice. An example is the rapidly
changing understanding of large vessel occlusions in ischemic
stroke that now strongly supports mechanical thrombectomy as a
viable and important part of the treatment armamentarium. Key
Highlights Contributions from internationally recognized leaders in
academic neurointerventional surgery provide insightful and
analytic perspectives Encompasses the full continuum of
neurointerventional procedures in one resource, from hemorrhagic
and ischemic stroke to neoplasms and spine conditions The
reader-friendly structure and chapter formatting facilitates
understanding of often complicated decision-making The
evidenced-based, multifaceted approach to neurointerventional
surgery presented in this textbook makes it vital reading for
residents, fellows, and practitioners in neurosurgery, as well as
fellows in interventional neuroradiology and interventional
neurology. This book includes complimentary access to a digital

First Prize Winner at the 2018 BMA Medical Book Awards! The highly
complex specialty of brainstem surgery requires many years of
study, a focus on precision, and a passionate dedication to
excellence to prepare the neurosurgeon for navigating significant
anatomic challenges. Although the brainstem is technically
surgically accessible, its highly eloquent structure demands
rigorous surgical decision-making. An in-depth understanding of
brainstem and thalamic anatomy and the safe entry zones used to
access critical areas of the brainstem is essential to traversing
the brainstem safely and successfully. This remarkable,
one-of-a-kind atlas draws on the senior author's decades of
experience performing more than 1,000 surgeries on the brainstem,
thalamus, basal ganglia, and surrounding areas. Its content is
organized by anatomic region, enabling readers to study separate
subdivisions of the brainstem, each of which has its own unique
anatomic and surgical considerations. From cover to cover, the
atlas provides readers with technical guidance on approach
selection, the timing of surgery, and optimization of
outcomes-elucidated by more than 1700 remarkable color
illustrations, dissections, clinical images, and line drawings. Key
Highlights Beautifully detailed, highly sophisticated brain slices
and dissections by Kaan Yagmurlu, who trained under the
internationally renowned neuroanatomist and neurosurgeon Albert
Rhoton Jr. Color illustrations clearly labeled with callouts and
other indicators of foci of interest delineate multiple safe entry
zones to the brainstem More than 50 detailed patient cases
highlight each patient's history of previous neurological
disorders, presenting symptoms, preoperative imaging, diagnosis,
the planned surgical approach, patient positioning, intraoperative
and postoperative imaging, and outcome Seven animations and more
than 50 surgical videos elucidate approach selection, anatomy, and
surgical outcomes of thalamic region and brainstem lesions This
illuminating atlas provides insights into the complexities of the
hallowed halls of the brainstem. Neurosurgeons and neurosurgical
residents alike who glean knowledge from the clinical pearls
throughout each section will no doubt become more adept surgeons,
to the ultimate benefit of their patients.
The ultimate guide to navigating and treating brainstem pathologies
from master neurosurgeon Robert Spetzler The brainstem is one of
the last bastions of surgical prohibition because of its densely
packed ascending and descending tracts and nuclei carrying
information to and from the brain. Although 10% of all pediatric
tumors and 5% of all vascular anomalies occur in the brainstem,
neurosurgeons have traditionally resisted dissecting lesions in
this area. Recent advances in imaging, microscopy, anesthesia, and
operative techniques have expanded the treatment paradigm for this
most eloquent region of the brain. Surgery of the Brainstem, by
internationally renowned neurosurgeons Robert F. Spetzler, M.
Yashar S. Kalani, and Michael T. Lawton, along with an impressive
cadre of global experts, is a comprehensive guide to managing
disorders of the brainstem, thalamic region, and basal ganglia.
Organized in seven sections with 33 chapters, the text opens with
four sections covering a variety of topics. Section I presents the
history of brainstem surgery; Section II examines anatomy,
development, and pathology; Section III reviews patient
examination, imaging, and monitoring; and Section IV provides a
succinct overview of surgical approaches. Sections V-VII cover a
wide range of adult and pediatric tumors, ischemia, stroke,
aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and cerebral cavernous
malformations. More than 300 high-quality clinical images and
medical illustrations enhance the text. Key Highlights A full
spectrum of treatment modalities and outcomes, including open
surgery, endoscopic approaches, stereotactic radiosurgery,
radiotherapy, endovascular techniques, and revascularization An
anatomy chapter featuring stunning Rhoton-style anatomical
dissections delineates critical landmarks in the brainstem,
thalamus, pineal region, and cranial nerves Detailed discussion of
patient positioning and exposure of various brainstem domains
Pearls on overcoming psychological, pathological, and anatomical
barriers and managing complications Understanding the basic
anatomy, pathology, and clinical complexities of the brainstem and
thalamic regions is essential for safe navigation and treatment.
This remarkable book will provide neurosurgeons with additional
insights on performing resections and achieving the best possible
outcomes for patients with pathologic conditions in this delicate
region. This book includes complimentary access to a digital copy
