Anatomy, Techniques, and Approaches in Temporal Lobe Surgery

A comprehensive, step-by-step surgical guide to managing temporal lobe epilepsyAs arguably the most complex lobe of the brain, all the regions of the temporal lobe require a high level of anatomical and functional knowledge to conduct safe and effective surgical operations. This unique resource covers diverse surgical resection techniques commonly used to treat temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Anatomy, Techniques, and Approaches in Temporal Lobe Surgery: A Step-by-Step Guide edited by Drs. Ali Tayebi Meybodi, Mark C. Preul, Kris A. Smith, and Michael T. Lawton augments hands-on learning attained from cadaver training, with state-of-the-art contributions from renowned pioneers in neuroanatomy and neurosurgery.The book starts with an introductory chapter on the history of TLE surgery, followed by two chapters that detail functional and surgical anatomy, respectively. The seven procedural chapters meticulously and systematically depict how to perform current TLE surgical approaches through succinct discussion, surgically oriented views, figures, and accompanying videos. While this book eloquently bridges the gap between didactic text and the operating room, the authors emphasize the importance of neurosurgical training laboratories, in-depth study, and practicing temporal lobe procedures on cadavers.Key HighlightsDetailed cadaveric dissections and impressive illustrations by Laura Roy focus on bony, meningeal, vascular, and neural elements that elucidate the surgical anatomy of the temporal lobeVarious procedures illustrated via high-resolution 3D immersive images precisely replicate each operative stepNarrated videos demonstrate specific surgical techniques to enhance learning and understanding of operative approaches This must-have reference provides invaluable guidance and insight for neurosurgical trainees and practicing neurosurgeons to manage and navigate the anatomical and operative complexities associated with temporal lobe epilepsy.This print book includes a scratch off code to access a complimentary digital copy on MedOne.Publisher's Note: Products purchased from Third Party sellers are not guaranteed by the publisher for quality, authenticity, or access to any online entitlements included with the product.
