Concept in Neurosaurgery, 7. - Baltimore, Williams & Wilkins, 1995, gr.-8°, XV, 296 pp., First Edition! "The sentiments of Mies van der Rohe, one of the twentieth century's leading architects, are being echoed by proponents of a major new movement in neurological surgery. Minimally invasive neurosurgery, a concept once relegated to the domain of science fiction, is quickly becoming an established science on the basis of a series of remarkable technological breakthroughs. There is presently an extraordinary interest in this field, which has as its fundamental principle the reduction of surgical trauma to neural tissue. Innovations in minimalism are being introduced at such a fast pace that it is almost impossible to keep up with them. These innovations, which include advances in both instrumentation and technique, promise to change the practice of neurosurgery as we know it. In this monograph, we have attempted to take a critical look at the current state of the art of minimally invasive neurosurgery, and also, to try for a glimpse of the future. Some of the techniques reported here are tried and true, others are in the early stages of development and are more speculative. Some of the techniques surely represent significant advances for our specialty, others may not withstand rigorous comparison to conventional procedures, and still others may be rendered obsolete by the time this volume is published. Such is the nature of this rapidly evolving discipline. We have assembled a distinguished group of physicians and surgeons to discuss innovations in five broad areas. These areas are: endoscopic neurosurgery, stereotactic neurosurgery, stereotactic radiosurgery, endovascular therapy, and minimally invasive spinal surgery. Our intention was to choose controversial and stimulating topics that would be of interest to the practicing neurological surgeon. We hope this book will serve to inspire creative thought and future innovations in minimally invasive neurosurgery and ultimately, to help us improve the care of our patients." Preface. Alan R.
