Operative Techniques in Epilepsy Surgery-2판

Description

An indispensable, single-volume resource on state-of-the-art epilepsy procedures from renowned
international experts!
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder affecting an estimated 1% of the population, about 20 to 30% of which
experience seizures inadequately controlled by medical therapy alone. Advances in anatomic and functional imaging
modalities, stereotaxy, and the integration of neuronavigation during surgery have led to cutting-edge treatment
options for patients with medically refractory epilepsy. Operative Techniques in Epilepsy Surgery, Second Edition by
Gordon Baltuch, Arthur Cukiert, and an impressive international group of contributors has been updated and expanded,
reflecting the newest treatments for pediatric and adult epilepsy.

Seven sections with 30 chapters encompass surgical planning, invasive EEG studies, cortical resection, intraoperative
mapping, disconnection, neuromodulation, and further topics. Twelve cortical resection chapters cover surgical
approaches such as amygdalohippocampectomy; hippocampal transection; frontal lobe, central region, and posterior
quadrant resections; and microsurgery versus endoscopy for hypothalamic hamartomas. Disconnection procedures
discussed in section five include corpus callosotomy, hemispherectomy, and endoscopic-assisted approaches.
Well-established procedures such as vagus nerve and deep brain stimulation are covered in the neuromodulation
section, while the last section discusses radiosurgery for medically intractable cases.
