Principles of Neurological Surgery: A Comprehensive Clinical and Surgical Reference (NeuroVertex Library)

Neurological surgery is one of the most demanding fields in medicine, requiring a thorough understanding of neuroanatomy, disease processes, advanced diagnostic techniques, and precise surgical management. Principles of Neurological Surgery is a comprehensive, evidence-based reference that provides healthcare professionals with the essential knowledge and practical guidance needed to evaluate, diagnose, and treat disorders affecting the brain, spine, and peripheral nervous system.

Designed to bridge foundational science with modern clinical practice, this book presents the core principles of neurological surgery in a clear, structured, and clinically relevant format. From patient assessment and operative planning to surgical intervention and postoperative care, it emphasizes safe, effective, and patient-centered management across a broad spectrum of neurosurgical conditions.

Inside this book, you will discover:

• Fundamental principles of neurological surgery and clinical decision-making.

• Functional neuroanatomy, neuropathology, and neurological assessment.

• Modern diagnostic approaches, including neuroimaging and neurophysiological testing.

• Surgical management of traumatic brain injury, cerebrovascular disease, brain and spinal tumors, hydrocephalus, epilepsy, spinal disorders, and peripheral nerve conditions.

• Preoperative evaluation, operative planning, microsurgical techniques, and perioperative care.

• Recognition and management of neurosurgical emergencies and postoperative complications.
