A practical and succinct guide to neurophysiological monitoring for safer brain tumor surgeryThe surgical treatment of infiltrating brain tumors is an extremely challenging and often highly rewarding facet of neurosurgery.The decision-making process involves deeply human interconnections with patients and relatives, cutting-edge neuroscience, and fascinating technology. Video Atlas of Neurophysiological Monitoring in Surgery of Infiltrating Brain Tumors by renowned oncological neurosurgeon Michael Sabel and esteemed contributors demonstrates the practical applications of neurophysiological monitoring to achieve safe removal of infiltrating brain tumors in asleep and awake settings.Organized in three primary parts, the books starts with an introduction including discussion of the impact and challenges posed by infiltrating gliomas and cerebral metastases and the philosophy behind supramarginal resection. The second part covers critical theoretical components including relevant anatomy, nervous system electricity and fields, transcranial monitoring methods and principles, and direct cortical and subcortical mapping including awake brain surgery. The final part provides insightful, practical guidance on decision making, monitoring set-up, planning of surgical cases, and a summary of accompanying videos.Key HighlightsDiscussion of impacted anatomy, physiology of the neural pathways monitored in brain tumor surgery, and key neurophysiological techniques for monitoring and testing during resectionInstructive illustrations coupled with concise explanations enhance knowledge and facilitate understanding of techniquesFifteen videos covering real-life intraoperative cases provide in-depth insights on applying IONM principles to infiltrating brain tumorsThis is an essential resource for any neurosurgeon involved or interested in brain tumor surgery, from residents and fellows to board-certified neurosurgeons not yet trained in this field.This book includes complimentary access to a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.

Gain confidence in acquiring basic manual skills for brain tumor surgery...In training to become a neurosurgeon, many of the crucial manual skills that must be acquired can only be mastered through growing experience during the rigorous and lengthy training process. Yet, many - often essential - practical skills can quickly be learned, practiced, and even mastered, away from the OR.The author''s motivation for writing this guide arose during his own training and his need for just such a practical aid. Getting Ready for Brain Tumor Surgery provides the readers with a basic set of exercises that will allow him to develop and improve their motor skills, handling of various tissues, and general technical competence. Detailed instructions are given in the illustrated text and in accompanying videos.Topics include:Planning: visualization of the procedureThe craniotomy - using a coconutWorking with the microscopeRemoving a gyrus: subpial resectionRemoving a brain tumor using an artificial modelMicrosurgical training: the chicken wing modelJunior neurosurgical residents and interns will benefit greatly from this handy guide.

Sink or swim? Maintaining your composure and self-confidence during the residencyAs grueling as medical studies and training are, with appropriate discipline and time management it is possible to stay afloat, maintain one''s sanity, achieve one''s goals, and still enjoy a fulfilling life. It is the purpose of this book to stimulate thought processes that nurture a healthy attitude toward organizing one''s time and life so as to improve one''s own quality of life as well as the patient''s well-being.Topics include:The macro-perspective: goals, roles, regenerationThe micro-perspective: from goal to actionPlanning your weekAcute disaster management: three major pointsAnxiety management and the "power of now"Networking; finding and working with mentors; reevaluating; learning from errorsJunior residents and interns will benefit greatly from this handy guide, as will medical students in their rotations.
