Neuronavigation and Neuroanatomy

Neuronavigation and Neuroanatomy

by Wolfgang Seeger, Josef Zentner

2013 · Springer Science & Business Media

Neuronavigation enables the surgeon to define each cranial and cerebral structure before and during surgery but the problem of brainshifting remains. This atlas shows drawings of anatomical landmarks for neuronavigation for preoperative planning. The authors show the relationships between bony landmarks which are unchanged during the operation, and landmarks which are no more available after opening of the skull but still recognizable during the operation, e.g. by ultrasonic sector scan. It further includes the description of many important anatomical variants, which are important for microsurgeons when using minimal invasive modern techniques (endoscopy, sterotaxy) to avoid errors and complications. The book describes unknown projections for MRI and CT which may be adapted for special surgical problems. The anatomical drawings are the result of a twenty-five-years study of the topographical anatomy of the brain and the surrounding structures combined with the experience of modern microsurgery.

Color Atlas of Microneurosurgery

Color Atlas of Microneurosurgery

by Wolfgang Th Koos, Robert F. Spetzler

1999 · Thieme

From reviews of previous volumes: Ranks with the very best previous attempts at codifying neurosurgical operations. The attention to detail is excellent... -The New England Journal of Medicine A valuable addition to any library...I would recommend it to all neurosurgeons with an interest in cerebrovascular disease...The operative photographs are of extremely high quality.-Chicago Medicine The final volume in the acclaimed series provides coverage of the anatomy, surgical approaches, and techniques involved in performing cerebral revascularization. Filled with over 2,000 vibrant images, it provides the visual instruction neurosurgeons need. Highlights include: A complete section detailing intracranial vasculature and anatomy of the spinal cord A case material section featuring a rich diversity of clinical situations to illustrate a variety of microsurgical techniques Thorough coverage of bypasses, reconstructions, and the use of endarterectomy to achieve revascularization Presentation of both surgical and endovascular techniques for re-establishing blood flow through the carotid and cerebral arteries Information on tumors of the spinal cord and spinal vascular malformations, particularly cavernous and arteriovenous malformations

Color Atlas of Microneurosurgery: Volume 2 - Cerebrovascular Lesions

Color Atlas of Microneurosurgery: Volume 2 - Cerebrovascular Lesions

by Wolfgang T. Koos, Robert F. Spetzler, Bernd Richling, Johannes Lang

2013 · Thieme

Refinements in the neurosurgical armamentarium continue to push the borders of neurosurgery forward. Lesions considered inoperable a few years ago can now be resected, especially in the region of the skull base. These new developments, plus rapid technological innovations in microneurosurgery, have dramatically altered the scope of modern neurosurgery. Now, with Volume 2 of the acclaimed Color Atlas of Microneurosurgery, the distinguished authors provide detailed descriptions of surgical anatomy and the major neurosurgical approaches to cerebrovascular lesions. You will find coverage of aneurysms, arteriovenuous malformations, cerebrovascular malformations, and vascular compression – all derived from a wide range of etiologies. Divided into three sections on anatomy, surgical approaches, and underlying pathology, the book demonstrates the most innovative new techniques, procedures and approaches as performed in hundreds of clinical cases. The result is the most detailed and comprehensive microneurosurgical atlas ever compiled, an ideal reference for practicing neurosurgeons and residents–in–training.
