Neurosurgery

This book addresses the complexities and complications associated with CSF shunting procedures used in the treatment of hydrocephalus, focusing on strategies for prevention, identification, and clinical management.

This clinical article determines the benefit of combining the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores and pupil responses into a simple arithmetic index called the GCS-Pupils score (GCS-P). Analyzing large pooled data sets, the GCS-P (range 1–15) was found to extend prognostic information and accurately predict patient outcome and mortality in traumatic brain injury with performance comparable to more complex methods.

A comprehensive handbook covering cerebrovascular disease and neurointerventional techniques. The Third Edition includes significant updates, dedicating a new chapter to intracerebral hemorrhage and featuring educational highlights ('Kids Korners!').

This book follows the curriculum of the EUROSPINE basic and advanced diploma courses, utilizing a purely case-based approach. Each case illustrates concepts surrounding the treatment of spinal pathologies, including the uncertainties and problems in decision-making, offering guidance on accepted mainstream treatments and providing updated literature and evidence on the topic.

This book focuses on the challenging treatment of Gliomas, emphasizing the necessary multidisciplinary clinical effort incorporating the expertise of dedicated neurosurgeons, neuro-oncologists, radiation oncologists, neuropathologists, and radiologists to provide advanced care options.

A comprehensive medical textbook providing authoritative coverage of spinal health, diagnosis, and treatment in orthopaedic surgery and neurosurgery, building upon the established foundation of Rothman, Simeone, and Herkowitz's work.

A surgical guide detailing the tenets and techniques for the resection of intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).

A detailed review of the physiology, pathogenesis, and etiology of hydrocephalus in children, focusing on the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leading to ventricular dilation and increased intracranial pressure (ICP). The text defines and distinguishes between obstructive (noncommunicating) and communicating hydrocephalus.

A comprehensive surgical guide detailing the minimally invasive endoscopic techniques used for the correction and management of craniosynostosis in infants, focusing on illustrated procedural steps and pre- and post-operative care.

A comprehensive, heavily illustrated guide detailing step-by-step neurosurgical procedures. Covers foundational techniques, complex cranial and spinal surgeries, vascular interventions, and tumor resection strategies, emphasizing practical application for residents and practicing surgeons.

Reviews the current state of transsphenoidal surgery, focusing on surgical procedures for pituitary gland tumors and the sphenoid sinus.

A much-needed atlas detailing neuroendoscopy, focusing specifically on endoscopic approaches to the third ventricle. It covers basic principles for ventricular approaches and essential intraoperative anatomy, serving as a fundamental guide for beginning endoscopic neurosurgeons and emphasizing procedures such as endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV).
