Surgical Anatomy of the Cerebral Circulation is an essential textbook that presents detailed and comprehensive information on the anatomy of the circulatory system of the brain and the relevant surgical procedures that are performed to treat diseases and disorders in this area. This source of knowledge is aimed at medical and surgical students, residents, neurosurgery specialists and anyone interested in the surgical treatment of brain diseases.
The book begins with a general overview of the anatomy of the cerebral circulation, including the structure of the vessels that supply the brain with blood and their functional characteristics. The different types of blood vessels that are part of the cerebral arterial system are then examined, as well as their connections and importance to the blood supply to different areas of the brain.
The second part of the textbook is devoted to the pathologies and diseases related to cerebral blood circulation, as well as to the surgical procedures used for their treatment. The various types of strokes, hemorrhages, aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and other conditions that can affect the circulatory system of the brain, as well as methods and techniques for surgical treatment of these diseases, are discussed here.
The third part of the textbook focuses on the techniques and procedures used in neurosurgery to access and manipulate the circulatory system of the brain. The different types of surgical approaches to cerebral vessels, including open and minimally invasive techniques, are reviewed here, as well as their advantages, disadvantages, and indications for use.
The final part of the textbook is devoted to the complications and risks associated with the surgical treatment of cerebral circulation, as well as the methods to prevent and manage these risks. Here, the different types of surgical techniques, their potential dangers, and the precautions that should be taken to minimize risk to the patient are discussed.
"Surgical Anatomy of the Cerebral Circulation" is an essential source of information for anyone interested in the surgical treatment of brain diseases. This textbook not only provides detailed anatomical information, but also summarizes current practices and techniques in neurosurgery, making it an indispensable resource for students and professionals in neurology and neurosurgery.
