Features: With the rapid development of science and technology and the continuous improvement of medical diagnostic levels, the scope of neurosurgical treatment has been expanding. Surgery is a crucial component of disease treatment, and the quality of surgery directly impacts treatment outcomes. Surgeons must possess solid theoretical knowledge, proficient basic operational skills, and a rigorous, scientific work ethic, paying attention to every aspect of surgical procedures. Young and middle-aged physicians must be thoroughly familiar with human anatomy, perform standardized cutting, hemostasis, ligation, and suturing during surgery, and develop a habit of caring for tissues and organs. At the same time, they must emphasize preoperative preparation and postoperative management, adopt surgical techniques suitable for the patient's condition, and continuously improve their surgical skills, gradually cultivating excellent surgical qualities and a strong sense of responsibility toward patients.
This book was written and illustrated by renowned neurosurgical professors and experts in China, following the above principles, based on practical experience, and drawing on both classic foreign works and domestic materials, as well as combining their medical, teaching, and research expertise. The book contains over 850 color illustrations, presented in a color atlas format with a strong emphasis on visuals, making it both informative and easy to understand. It systematically and comprehensively introduces various classic neurosurgical techniques while also including many new surgical methods developed in recent years. The illustrations are vivid in color, have clear contrast, are highly practical, concise, and easy to comprehend.
This book serves as a practical guide for surgeons to master and improve their surgical skills, reduce complications, and increase cure rates. It is an essential reference for surgeons, especially young and middle-aged physicians. It stands out as a gem in the series of neurosurgical books and is highly recommended. As a color atlas, it closely reflects clinical realities. The book is divided into 15 chapters, with over 850 color illustrations. Each chapter provides a detailed explanation of a specific surgical technique, covering aspects such as indications, preoperative preparation, anesthesia and positioning, surgical steps, and postoperative management. Some chapters also include additional necessary knowledge of surgical anatomy or theoretical overviews to help readers gain a deeper understanding. Keywords and surgical techniques are annotated in English for easy reference.
The primary audience for this book is physicians and graduate students working in neurosurgery. Like many other disciplines, medical science has advanced at an unprecedented pace. Neurosurgery is no exception. With societal progress and the virtuous cycle of high-tech applications and theoretical updates, the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of many diseases have undergone significant changes. Surgical treatment is no different, with this transformation being particularly pronounced over the past two decades. In the field of neurosurgery, the incidence of certain diseases has gradually declined, and some conditions have even been eradicated domestically, rendering many previously common surgical techniques obsolete and relegated to historical records. However, many other techniques have been continuously refined to become more rational, while numerous others have been developed or even innovated. All of these advancements have greatly improved surgical efficacy and the quality of life for postoperative patients.
