Neurosurgery Updates, Vol. 2

Neurovascular surgery, a complex challenge for most surgeons, is a rapidly progressing and continuously evolving field. This comprehensive textbook, Neurosurgery Updates: Controversies in Vascular Surgery, Volume 2, summarizes the opinions, illustrated case reports, and clinical pearls for practice from the web-based education program jointly organized by the Neurological Society of India and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, USA. Therefore, it ensures expert opinions from across the globe on the surgical management of vascular tumors, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and aneurysms of the nervous system. The textbook covers a wide range of topics ranging from neuroradiology, evaluation, presurgical planning, patient follow-up, and counseling. The illustrated case studies and expert opinions are valuable insights from students, residents, and practicing neurosurgeons.
