Operative Neurosurgical Anatomy

Descripción

This title 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) endoscopic approaches to cranial and spinal neurosurgery. It stresses the understanding of the anatomy rather then the performance of the procedure.
