Sinopsis

This 16th volume of Advances in Neurosurgery contains a selection of pa­ pers presented at the 38th Annual Meeting of the German Society of Neurosurgery, held in Munster on 3-6 May 1987. The program committee had to choose these contributions from a total of 161 presentations. I am very much obliged to the members of the committee who contributed their experience and effort to the organization of the scientific pro­ gram: Prof. Dr. R.A. Frowein, Prof. Dr. W.J. Bock, Prof. Dr. E. Kazner, Prof. Dr. G. Lausberg, Prof. Dr. M. Klinger, and Prof. Dr. M. Brandt. The aim of the Meeting was to exchange experiences regarding modern diagnostic and therapeutic achievements. The first main topic was new technical methods in neurosurgery. Refinements in laser technology were introduced; different laser devices have been recognized as use­ ful tools in microsurgery and some peripheral nerve problems. The Ca­ vitron ultrasonic aspirator has proven its value in a great variety of intracranial and spinal tumors within a few years. Its technical advance is impressively demonstrated by some of the papers in this book. With growing experience we have recognized the great value of these additional instruments in limited surgical fields and learned not to overestimate them in the hands of a skilled neurosurgeon.

Reseña del editor

This volume considers the application of new technological possibilities in the field. Experts report on their practical experiences with various new methods which are then commented on in more detail in further contributions to give as comprehensive a coverage as possible. Particular consideration is given to: - experience with lasers in both clinical and research contexts - diagnostic and operative ultrasound apparatus, especially microvascular transcranial and intraoperative doppler sonography - the usefulness of various evoked potentials for intraoperative monitoring - newly developed methods allowing the intrathecal and intraventricular administration of medication for serious cases of pain and spasticity - magnetic resonance imaging which has revolutionized the whole diagnosis of brain tumors and vascular deformities and spinal processes. The last section of the volume is devoted to recent research results. This survey of neurosurgical experiences with latest apparatus provides surgeons and clinicians with important new ideas for their activity.
