Features: This book is a comprehensive monograph in the field of minimally invasive neurosurgery and is currently the only one that provides complete information on stereotactic and functional neurosurgery for neurosurgeons and neuroscientists. It systematically and comprehensively introduces the content and latest advancements in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery, including the composition and clinical applications of stereotactic systems and neurosurgical navigation systems, such as movement disorders, epilepsy, pain, mental illnesses, and their surgical treatments. It also covers stereotactic and navigated surgeries for intracranial space-occupying lesions, stereotactic radiosurgery, surgical treatment of cranial nerve diseases, the application of robots in neurosurgery, deep brain stimulation therapy, artificial organs, and recent progress in gene therapy for neurological diseases. The book not only involves basic knowledge and fundamental theories but also provides methods to solve clinical problems. It is rich in content, up-to-date in information, concise in language, illustrated with diagrams, easy to understand, and practical. The entire book closely connects with new concepts, theories, technologies, and therapies in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery, guiding, introducing, and adopting new techniques. It also reflects the current level of stereotactic and functional neurosurgery in China, offering guidance for learning and mastering these technologies. With its significant academic and clinical value, this book will become an ideal reference for neurologists, neurosurgeons, and other neuroscientists. Its publication is certain to promote the vigorous development of stereotactic and functional neurosurgery in China.
