This beautifully and meticulously illustrated book is the second microneurosurgical atlas to show the unfolding of the operative procedure as seen through the eyes of the neurosurgeon.

Easy to use, it addresses every aspect of a given procedure, step by step, from patient position to closure. Unlike many other texts, it also discusses alternative treatment options, such as endovascular and radiosurgical procedures.

The Atlas of Operative Microneurosurgery will help both experienced and developing neurosurgeons expand the scope of their surgical techniques.

Features

• Continuous-tone illustrations provide outstanding detail!
• Basic guidelines for all major intercranial procedures
• Discusses new surgical approaches to lesions that were previously considered inoperable
• Unlike many other books of its kind, the Atlas of Operative Microneurosurgery emphasises surgical positioning and exposures -- which can dictate the success or failure or a procedure ...... and explains why a given position is needed
