Produktbeschreibung

Indispensable for both the trainee and experienced professional, this is the only truly comprehensive account of the major role of the neurosurgeon in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic pain. The elite panel of contributors were chosen due to their expertise and international reputations. The result of their achievement covers the whole spectrum from criteria for patient selection and the details of operative techniques, to the risks, complications, and expected outcomes for a wide variety of anatomic, ablative, and augmentative neurosurgical procedures in treating chronic, intractable pain. The neurosurgeon will find here chapters on the latest neuroaugmentative advances utilizing electrical stimulation and implantable drug infusion systems as well as a useful section providing algorithms and guidelines for the evaluation and treatment of specific pain syndromes. Over 100 photographs and exquisite line drawings - many specifically commissioned for this book - enhance the text. Invaluable for acquiring the critical judgement and clinical skills necessary to apply the procedures involved.
