This book offers an in-depth exploration of the most significant cranial surgical approaches in neurosurgery, blending tradition and hands-on experience. Designed for neurosurgery residents, fellows, and practicing neurosurgeons committed to lifelong learning, it serves as both a technical guide and a source of inspiration for excellence in the field. Organized into 21 meticulously structured chapters, the book covers a wide spectrum of procedures, from commonly performed surgeries to complex skull base and posterior fossa approaches. Each chapter is rooted in over a century of neurosurgical evolution, combining established literature with the authors’ personal refinements and procedural insights. The practical component is enriched by videos recorded from a surgeon’s point of view using innovative technology, including GoPro® and microscope-mounted smartphones, with AI-generated narration to enhance clarity.
Neurosurgical Approaches Video Atlas addresses the gap between formal literature and the experiential knowledge passed from mentor to mentee. It invites readers to pursue excellence through continuous observation, study, and adaptation, recognizing that the journey toward mastery in neurosurgery is ongoing.
