Advances in Neurosurgery. Volume 2

Hospital emergency departments play an increasingly important role in serving emergency and non-emergency medical needs of the public. Reports on how foreign medical services solve the numerous problems of delivery of emergency care might provide a welcome source of fresh and useful ideas in this field. Unfortunately, Organization of Emergency Medical Care: The Soviet Experience does not fulfil...

Advances in stroke: vascular neurosurgery.

T he indications for microsurgery in cerebrovascular pathology have been placed under increased scrutiny, given the continuous refinement of endovascular techniques. Several recent randomized studies and subgroup analyses of concluded studies have been particularly illuminating in this sense and will be the primary focus of this brief review. The Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy versus ...

Simulation training in neurosurgery: advances in education and practice

The current simulation technology used for neurosurgical training leaves much to be desired. Significant efforts are thoroughly exhausted in hopes of developing simulations that translate to give learners the "real-life" feel. Though a respectable goal, this may not be necessary as the application for simulation in neurosurgical training may be most useful in early learners. The ultimate unifor...
