Features: This book is a comprehensive monograph on minimally invasive neurosurgery in China, edited by the renowned neurosurgeon Professor Zhao Jizong. Starting from the history of neurosurgery, the book provides a detailed introduction to the formation, development, and current status of minimally invasive neurosurgery. The advancements in modern neuroimaging, anesthesia, and monitoring technologies are the foundation for the development of minimally invasive concepts, which are further described in the book. With a significant portion dedicated to clinical applications, the book focuses on various neurosurgical diseases treated with minimally invasive techniques and their technical details, including microscopic neuroanatomy and endoscopic neuroanatomy, microscopic neurosurgical equipment and instruments, neuronavigation surgery, micro (micro-bone window) approach for intracranial diseases, endoscopic-assisted surgery, the application of minimally invasive techniques in functional neurosurgery, brain lesion biopsy techniques, and brain tumor treatment, as well as interventional neuroradiology and stereotactic gamma knife. These contents hold high clinical practical value. The book is primarily intended for intermediate and advanced neurosurgeons with clinical practice experience and graduate students as a reference.
