Yasargil Microneurosurgery Study Guide is designed for effective learning and study of the neurosurgical principles contained in seminal microneurosurgery textbooks. From normal microsurgical anatomy to aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, and CNS tumor microsurgery, this study guide provides a question-and-answer format to knowledge of the background, anatomy, and techniques of microneurosurgery. This work is a practical guide to the application of microneurosurgery to a variety of brain conditions, including intracranial aneurysms, extrinsic and intrinsic tumors, while providing guidance on instrumentation and equipment, neuroanesthesia, complications, and more. This practical book is ideal for neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuroanatomists, and other technical experts with a clinical interest in brain microsurgery.
