Advances in Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery 10

En savoir plus sur le livre

These proceedings from the Xth Congress of the European Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery in Stockholm showcase the growing interest in these neurosurgery fields. This extensive volume features numerous original articles on the latest advances in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery. Once regarded as an esoteric sub-specialty focused on movement disorders and pain, stereotactic neurosurgery has now been integrated into the management of common neurosurgical diseases, with techniques practiced in major centers worldwide. However, the effective use of stereotactic methods necessitates specialized knowledge and training. The book includes insights into innovative stereotactic applications and technologies, such as frame-less stereotaxis and navigator systems in open tumor surgery. Additionally, the development of radiosurgery is closely tied to advancements in stereotactic techniques. The publication presents several original reports demonstrating the efficacy of radiosurgery in treating tumors and cerebrovascular diseases, marking significant achievements in modern neurosurgery.
