Book description
Part of the second edition of the classic
Neurosurgical Operative Atlas
series, Functional Neurosurgery
provides step-by-step guidance on the innovative and established
techniques for managing epilepsy, pain, and movement disorders. This
atlas covers the current surgical procedures, providing concise
descriptions of indications and surgical approaches, as well as
recommendations for how to avoid and manage postoperative complications.
The authors describe the underlying physiological principles and
state-of-the art recording techniques that are used for brain
localization. This edition addresses topics that are rarely covered in
other texts, including motor cortex stimulation for neuropathic pain,
novel technical approaches for insertion of deep brain stimulator
electrodes, and radiosurgery for movement disorders. Highlights:
New chapters on the evolving indications for deep brain stimulation,
frameless neuronavigation techniques, and interventional MRI-guided treatments
More than 650 high-quality images demonstrating anatomy and
surgical steps
Consistent format in all chapters to enhance ease of use
Ideal for neurosurgeons and residents, this operative atlas is a
practical surgical guide that will serve as both a reference and a
refresher prior to performing a specific procedure.
