A passionate account of a young neurosurgeon's training and practice with vivid descriptions of how it feels to be a brain surgeon.
This book covers all ethical aspects of introducing novel implants and procedures in neurosurgery in a structured way, addressing the current knowledge gap concerning ethical innovations in neurosurgery. Initially it explores the difficulties involved in defining when a procedure should be considered innovation, research, or care. To this end, it presents not only an overview of current literature, but also data from a recent survey among neurosurgeons in Europe. The book subsequently discusses the ethical issues related to innovation. These include: informed consent (what should a surgeon tell the patient and how should he/she do so), oversight (can any surgeon simply implant a novel spinal device?), the learning curve (when should a surgeon be allowed to perform a novel procedure?), vulnerable patients (how to innovate in the pediatric population or in an emergency setting), and conflicts of interest, as well as the ethics of paying for innovative treatments. In turn, the closing chapters focus on the evaluation of neurosurgical research and innovation. Are cultural changes necessary and how could innovation benefit from (international) collaborations? Given the range of topics addressed, the book offers neurosurgeons, residents, scientists, companies and hospital administrations a valuable guide to introducing novel implants and techniques in neurosurgery.
A History of Neurosurgery is the first thorough book on the history of neurosurgery published since 1951. The book is organized around a specific historiographic framework that traces the advancement of the specialty. Included are chapters on ancient trepanation, Macewen's first use of the combined technologies of anesthesia, antisepsis and cortical localization in 1879 to plan and perform craniotomies, the emergence of Harvey Cushing's leadership, the evolution of modern neurosurgical techniques and technology and much more.
'Skull Base Surgery' represents genuinely multi-disciplinary collaborative approach to the standard procedures in skull base surgery. It emphasizes the basic operative steps of each approach and describes variations from the basic approach. Authors from the relevant specialties Neurosurgery, Otolaryngology, Maxillo-Facial Surgery and Plastic Surgery contribute to this new specialty of skull base surgery.
Shares an account of his religiously transformative near-death experience and revealing week-long coma, describing his scientific study of near-death phenomena while explaining what he learned about the nature of human consciousness.
Whatever you may say about Professor Samii, his take on neurosurgery cannot be ignored. In this book readers will find pieces that express the philosophy of the most well-known 'Neurosurgical School'. International experts present Professor Samii's teaching and philosophy in dealing with the most difficult neurosurgical pathologies as well as future developments. Basic concepts in neurosurgical sciences, modern surgical techniques and cutting-edge technology are presented in detail.
This unique book describes an expert neurosurgeon's way of avoiding trouble in the clinic and the operating theatre. Mr Adams, an internationally recognized neurosurgeon and teacher, has trained numerous neurosurgical fellows from around the world including the US, Japan, Australia, Europe and South Africa. The book contains his pearls of wisdom after a lifetime of neurosurgical practice. It is a distillation from his own notebook, which contains 30 years' worth of clinical cases (and both his successes and failures). The book is not intended as a comprehensive textbook of neurosurgery but covers those areas that cause difficulty for trainees and qualified surgeons alike. There are unique chapters on: * neuroanatomy (with two sheets of origami to aid learning) * handy hints on history taking and neurological examination * fundamental surgical principles * talking with patients * unusual pathologies to watch out for and * operative technical tips This book emphasizes the art and philosophy of neurosurgery and surgery in general. The chapter on history taking and examination is a wonderful read, and this chapter alone should persuade all surgical trainees (not just neurosurgeons) to buy this book. In addition, the section on the management of post-operative pain is lucid and full of essential knowledge. Finally, surgeons who operate close to the brain (ENT and maxillofacial surgeons) as well as neurosurgeons will find the fount of wisdom in this book invaluable for the management of their own patients.
