Book description
This text provides insights into current trends and controversial
issues regarding state-of-the-art techniques in neurosurgery,
interventional neuroradiology, and endovascular surgery. The authors
confront such questions as: Are unruptured aneurysms managed most
effectively by neurosurgical clipping or endovascular coiling? Is
surgery or endovascular coiling the best treatment for ruptured cerebral
aneurysms of the anterior or posterior cerebral circulation? In managing
arteriovenous malformations and fistulas, should clinicians use
neurointerventional techniques or surgery, or a combination of both?
Highlights:
More than 240 excellent illustrations, figures, and radiological
images reviewing key concepts
Detailed coverage of treatments for ischemic diseases, including
extracranial and intracranial atherosclerosis
Discussion of the organizational issues of integrating
subspecialties and training subspecialists
This text also offers you the opportunity to earn valuable CME credits
online. Neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, neurologists, vascular
surgeons, and specialists will find the book's balanced coverage of
critical current issues in neurosurgery an indispensable aid in making
informed decisions.

"This volume is particularly timely as so many changes have
occurred in the field of neurovascular disease…
Controversies in
Neurological Surgery
is very well written and belongs in the library of every practitioner
involved in the management of neurovascular disease, not only for
surgeons, but also for our colleagues in interventional neuroradiology,
critical care, and stroke neurology. The authors are to be commended for
putting together such a comprehensive and easy-to-read
volume."--Journal of Neurosurgery_x000D_ _x000D_ "This is a
highly informative, updated, and well illustrated book. This is an
excellent resource for practicing neurosurgeons, neuroendovascular
surgeons, and neurologists managing patients with acute stroke
