The book starts with a historical overview, epidemiology, molecular pathogenesis, cytogenetics, local invasion and metastasis, and pathology. A thorough discussion covers diagnostic radiological and radionuclide imaging such as MRI, PET; SPECT, PET-CT, and PET-MRI, and clinical traits of skull base and spinal chordomas as defined by imaging modalities. Subsequent chapters explore decision making including selecting the most optimal techniques, surgical procedures, specialized topics, and new horizons in chordoma treatment.Key HighlightsAnterior and anterolateral approaches to the clivusThe use of endoscopy and intraoperative assistive technologiesMidline subfrontal, middle fossa, extended petrosal, and transcondylar approachesCraniospinal fusion techniques following resectionSurgery for spinal chordomas from the cervical to the sacral regionSpecial topics such as radiation, proton beam therapy, Gamma-Knife radiosurgery, and pediatric chordomas and chondrosarcomasThis is an essential text for neurosurgeons, orthopedic spine surgeons, otolaryngologists, and radiation oncologists. Read and learn from innovators who have mastered the latest state-of-the-art treatment methodologies for chordomas.

Glaucoma affects millions of people worldwide and is the second leading cause of blindness. Major advances in innovative surgical techniques, collectively termed minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), have revolutionized the field. These groundbreaking ophthalmic surgery approaches are effective, are not bleb-dependent, and they result in fewer complications. Authored by a Who's Who of prominent experts in the MIGS movement, this book represents the most comprehensive book written to date on the subject.Leading glaucoma surgeons offer unique perspectives and experience gleaned from developing and mastering these state-of-the-art techniques. The first four sections discuss fundamental concepts of eye anatomy and structure, outflow implications, and aqueous production. The remaining sections cover the latest cutting-edge procedures elucidated through text descriptions and case studies, with the final two chapters offering insights into how to best incorporate MIGS into your practice and possibilities for combining MIGS procedures to expand the treatment algorithm for patients with more moderate to advanced disease. Meticulous, step-by-step drawings, photos, and surgical videos further delineate advanced MIGS techniques.Select State-of-the-Art ProceduresTrabecular OutflowTrabectomeGonioscopic Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy (GATT)Ab Interno 360 Degree Goniotomy (TRAB360)iStentHydrusEximer Laser TrabeculoplastyUveoscleral OutflowCanaloplastySOLX Gold ShuntCyPassiStent SupraAqueous Humor ReductionEndoscopic CyclophotocoagulationTransconjunctival FiltrationAquesys XEN Gel StentInnFocus MicroshuntThis remarkable resource will enable ophthalmologists to incorporate cutting-edge MIGS into practice.
