A state-of-the-art neurovascular surgery atlas from internationally renowned neurosurgeon R. Loch
MacdonaldNeurosurgical Operative Atlas: Vascular Neurosurgery, Third Edition, by R. Loch Macdonald and expert contributors, reflects the latest advances in endoscopic, endovascular, microsurgical, and bypass techniques used in the treatment of cerebrovascular disease.
The entire atlas has been streamlined and updated with new content, including 38 videos that complement the concise step-by-step guidance in the text.
The book begins with five chapters on vascular and microsurgical instrumentation and equipment, clipping versus coiling, aneurysm surgery techniques, the pterional approach, and minimally invasive approaches.
Disease and procedure-specific chapters are organized by three sections:
aneurysms and subarachnoid hemorrhage, vascular malformations, and ischemic and other cerebrovascular disease.
Every chapter includes salient tips on patient selection and procedural
indications, preoperative information and tests, patient positioning, operative nuances, and postoperative complications.
Key Highlights- Nearly 300 high-quality color illustrations detail impacted anatomy and procedures
- The latest techniques for treating a full spectrum of aneurysms, such as ophthalmic segment,
supraclinoid internal carotid artery, middle and anterior cerebral artery, basilar and posterior cerebral artery, and others
