Considered the largest breakthrough in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease in the past 40 years, Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a pioneering procedure of neurology and functional neurosurgery, forging enormous change and growth within the field. The first comprehensive text devoted to this surgical therapy, Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease expertly examines all aspects of DBS from history and theory to patient evaluation, recovery, and rehabilitation. Features: Serves as an invaluable resource and teaching guide for patient evaluation and the selection of candidates for surgery Describes the surgical technique for DBS placement, reviewing both frame- and frameless-based approaches Considers the morbidity and mortality associated with the procedure and details strategies for complication avoidance Discusses pre- and post-operative management protocols, from the intensive care unit to rehabilitative settings Outlines medication adjustment in the post-DBS patient for enhanced patient recovery, including illustrative case examples Reviews the effects of DBS surgery on speech, balance, autonomic function, sleep, and weight Considers ethical and quality-of-life issues for DBS patients Edited by specialists in the top-tiers of the discipline, including contributors from the pioneering Movement Disorder Group at the University of Pennsylvania, this is an indispensable companion for the entire neurological and neurosurgical community.

An indispensable, single-volume resource on state-of-the-art epilepsy procedures from renowned international experts!Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder affecting an estimated 1% of the population, about 20 to 30% of which experience seizures inadequately controlled by medical therapy alone. Advances in anatomic and functional imaging modalities, stereotaxy, and the integration of neuronavigation during surgery have led to cutting-edge treatment options for patients with medically refractory epilepsy. Operative Techniques in Epilepsy Surgery, Second Edition by Gordon Baltuch, Arthur Cukiert, and an impressive international group of contributors has been updated and expanded, reflecting the newest treatments for pediatric and adult epilepsy.Seven sections with 30 chapters encompass surgical planning, invasive EEG studies, cortical resection, intraoperative mapping, disconnection, neuromodulation, and further topics. Twelve cortical resection chapters cover surgical approaches such as amygdalohippocampectomy; hippocampal transection; frontal lobe, central region, and posterior quadrant resections; and microsurgery versus endoscopy for hypothalamic hamartomas. Disconnection procedures discussed in section five include corpus callosotomy, hemispherectomy, and endoscopic-assisted approaches. Well-established procedures such as vagus nerve and deep brain stimulation are covered in the neuromodulation section, while the last section discusses radiosurgery for medically intractable cases.Key Highlights Chapters new to this edition include endoscopic callosotomy, laser-induced thermal therapy (LITT), and focused ultrasoundHigh-quality illustrations, superb operative and cadaver photographs, radiologic images, and tables enhance understanding of impacted anatomy and specific techniquesThe addition of videos provides insightful step-by-step procedural guidanceThis is an essential reference for fellows and residents interested in epilepsy and functional neurosurgery, and an ideal overview for neurosurgeons, neurologists, and neuroradiologists in early career stages who wish to pursue this subspecialty.This book includes complimentary access to a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.
