From Book News, Inc. This volume collects anatomic dissections organized to present relevant fundamental information concerning surgical anatomy and structural connections. Fossett and Caputy (neurosurgery, The George Washington U.) present 43 chapters by 14 contributors that discuss and illustrate (with three-dimensional color images) anatomic specimens oriented in the operative position and dissected using standard surgical approaches. Topics are divided into indications for approach; positioning and skin incision; surgical technique; pitfalls, pearls and considerations; and suggested readings. They cover cranial, spinal and peripheral nerve approaches, and neuroendoscopy. Numerous color images support the text. Oversize: 9.25x12.25.Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Book Info George Washington Univ., Washington, DC. Collection of anatomic dissections organized to present anatomic relationships based on standard operative neurosurgical approaches. Each chapter defines the pathologic indications and the constraints of the surgical approach. Sections include cranial, spinal, peripheral nerve, and neuroendoscopy. DNLM: Neurosurgical Procedures.
Presents neurosurgical anatomy by detailing approaches on cadavers in the same position patients would be placed in during a real operative procedure. Anatomy is described in: 1) all commomnly used cranial and cranial base approaches, 2) anterior, posterior, anterolateral and posterolateral approaches to all segments of the spinal, 3) all commonly performed procedures on peripheral nerves, and 4) edoscopic approaches to cranial and spinal neurosurgery. Stresses the understanding of the anatomy rather then the performance of the procedure.
