Features: Atlas of Neurosurgical Approaches is a book that closely integrates neuroanatomy with standard neurosurgical approaches. The book has the following features: 1. Over 450 photos are taken after dissecting fresh cadaver specimens, with clear, realistic images that show distinct layers and three-dimensional anatomical structures, exactly matching the surgical scenarios seen outside the operating room. 2. Based on standard neurosurgical approaches, the exposure procedures of the surgical field are standardized. 3. Currently the only monograph to provide systematic microscopic endoscopic anatomical images. 4. Detailed introduction of the advantages, disadvantages, surgical methods, techniques, and key points to be noted for each surgical approach, helping specialists avoid common mistakes. Suitable for neurosurgeons, spinal surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, and otolaryngologists. [Preface] Preface Neurosurgery (central and peripheral nervous systems) is both a science and an art. It requires surgeons not only to have superb operational skills but also to possess the meticulous aesthetic sense of an artist. Before achieving the required skills and artistry in neurosurgery, successful clinical practice must be conducted. However, the foundation is a solid understanding of neurosurgical anatomy. Basic anatomical knowledge can be learned in many ways, but for surgeons, this learning method should be three-dimensional. Regardless of the patient's position and surgical approach, surgeons must clearly understand the various anatomical relationships. These form the basis of surgical anatomy. The task of defining and explaining the relationships between various structures is numerous, and there are many articles describing the surgical approaches to different parts of the nervous system. The editors of Atlas of Neurosurgical Approaches hope to provide readers with a three-dimensional understanding of the anatomical problems encountered in various surgical approaches of the nervous system. The anatomical relationships described in this book are based on the correct surgical positions required for various approaches, with cadavers positioned accordingly. This allows readers to observe the anatomical relationships they may encounter in the operating room in the future. To successfully practice surgical skills and artistry, a correct relative position must be determined before surgery, and a correct surgical approach plan must be formulated. However, if surgeons are unclear about the three-dimensional anatomical relationships encountered during surgery, all preoperative plans become meaningless. Atlas of Neurosurgical Approaches will help surgeons choose the correct surgical approach and position based on their mastery of the three-dimensional anatomical knowledge they will encounter in the operating room, enabling them to successfully and effectively practice the surgical skills and artistry required in neurosurgery.
