A state-of-the-art guide to evolving functional neurosurgery approaches from world-renowned innovators
Functional neurosurgery focuses on improving the lives of patients with epilepsy, movement disorders, pain, and
psychiatric illnesses. In recent years, approaches ranging from open surgery to minimally invasive techniques have been
leveraged to improve daily functioning and quality of life in people struggling with painful, highly disruptive, and/or
treatment-resistant symptoms. These approaches focus on reducing or eliminating seizures, alleviating pain, decreasing
abnormal movements or lessening debilitating symptoms associated with specific psychiatric disorders.
Neurosurgical Operative Atlas: Functional Neurosurgery, Third Edition, by renowned functional neurosurgeons Robert
Gross, Nicholas Boulis, and esteemed contributors reflects the latest advances in functional and stereotactic
neurosurgical approaches. The entire atlas has been streamlined and updated with new content, including the use of
stereotactic surgery to treat obsessive compulsive disorder, Tourette syndrome, and major depression.
Key Highlights
A full spectrum of epilepsy treatment techniques, including intracranial monitoring with stereo-electroencephalography,
selective amygdalohippocampectomy, MRI-guided stereotactic laser ablation, vagus nerve stimulation, and more
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease, tremor, dystonia, epilepsy and medically intractable pain
syndromes, with in-depth implantation guidance
The use of neurosurgical and interventional techniques to treat pain including percutaneous ablation, peripheral nerve
stimulation, spinal cord and motor cortex stimulators, and pumps
More than 300 high quality color illustrations detail anatomy and surgical procedures
This is the ultimate guide on functional neurosurgery for managing a wide range of incapacitating neurological
conditions. Neurosurgical residents, fellows, and veteran neurosurgeons specializing in this rapidly evolving
subspecialty will find this state-of-the-art book invaluable ?reading it cover to cover will ultimately benefit
patients.
