A practical and succinct guide to neurophysiological monitoring for safer brain tumor surgery
The
surgical treatment of infiltrating brain tumors is an extremely
challenging and often highly rewarding facet of neurosurgery. The
decision-making process involves deeply human interconnections with
patients and relatives, cutting-edge neuroscience, and fascinating
technology. Video Atlas of Neurophysiological Monitoring in Surgery of
Infiltrating Brain Tumors by renowned oncological neurosurgeon Michael
Sabel and esteemed contributors demonstrates the practical applications
of neurophysiological monitoring to achieve safe removal of
infiltrating brain tumors in asleep and awake settings.
Organized
in three primary parts, the book starts with an introduction including
a discussion of the impact and challenges posed by infiltrating
gliomas and cerebral metastases and the philosophy behind supramarginal
resection. The second part covers critical theoretical components
including relevant anatomy, nervous system electricity and fields,
transcranial monitoring methods and principles, and direct cortical and
subcortical mapping including awake brain surgery. The final part
provides insightful, practical guidance on decision making, monitoring
set-up, planning of surgical cases, and a summary of accompanying
videos.
Key Highlights
- Discussion
of impacted anatomy, physiology of the neural pathways monitored in
brain tumor surgery, and key neurophysiological techniques for
monitoring and testing during resection
- Instructive illustrations coupled with concise explanations enhance knowledge and facilitate understanding of techniques
- Fifteen
videos covering real-life intraoperative cases provide in-depth
insights on applying IONM principles to infiltrating brain tumors
This
is an essential resource for any neurosurgeon involved or interested
in brain tumor surgery, from residents and fellows to board-certified
neurosurgeons not yet trained in this field.
