Neurophysiology in Neurosurgery: A Modern Approach

Over the last 15 years, there have been many advances in the field of intraoperative monitoring. This new edition of Neurophysiology in Neurosurgery provides updates on the original techniques, as well as to the overall methodology used in neuromonitoring. The purpose of this book is to describe the integration of neuromonitoring with surgical procedures. Each methodology is discussed in detail as well as chapters describing how those methodologies are applied to multiple neurosurgical procedures and the evidence used to support those uses. The second edition features surgical procedures section, which focuses on specific surgical procedures and the type of monitoring used during these procedures. The original chapters have been updated, expanded and the structure modified to ensure the book is beneficial to both physiologists and surgeons. This book is written for neurosurgeons, neurophysiologists, neurologists, anesthesiologists, interventional neuroradiologists, orthopedic surgeons, and plastic surgeons.
