These eight volumes, which developed out of the international
congress "Update and Future Trends in Fibrin Sealing in Surgical
and Nonsurgical Fields" held in November 1992, present the state of
the art in fibrin sealing. In itially, fibrin sealant played an
important role in surgery. During the past few years, it has been
increasingly applied nonsurgically, and we can now say that it has
become an integral component of medical treatment. The doubts which
have been raised by nonusers about the efficacy of fibrin sealant
are no longer valid. The correct indication and technique continue
to be basic prerequisites for effective treatment. Even today - 20
years after fibrin sealant was first used - the three most
prominent effects of fibrin sealant are still hemostasis, sealing
of the wound, and support of wound healing. The problems posed by
the transmission of viral infections have gained sub stantially in
importance because of the potential transmission of AIDS via fi
brin sealant. Fortunately, this is so unlikely today that it no
longer represents a cause for concern, which does not mean,
however, that research in this field can be discontinued.
With the exploding progress we are experiencing in the field of
lasers in neurosurgery it was felt that a new volume devoted to
lasers in neurosurgery is needed. As opposed to other early laser
publications which were limited to North American contributors we
have decided to publish Lasers in Neurosurgery which presents the
findings of neurosurgeons from throughout the world. The decision
to publish all contributions in English, regardless of the native
language of the author, makes Lasers in Neurosurgery truly a forum
for international neurosurgeons. Our intent is to make available
the findings of international neurosurgeons, which are frequently
published in less fa miliar languages, to neurosurgeons beyond the
boundaries of the authors' countries. We hope that neurosurgeons
not only in North America and Europe, but throughout the world,
will profit by Lasers in Neurosurgery. November 1988 Edward F.
