Microsurgical Anatomy and Internal Architecture of the Brainstem: Surgical Consideration
摘要
Although still a major challenge, surgery of brainstem lesions has been recently made possible in many circumstances thanks to the developments in microneurosurgical techniques, neuroimaging, neuroanesthesiology, neuromonitoring, and neurointensive care. Nevertheless, in order to plan and perform delicate brainstem procedures with the aid of all these tools and support, the modern neurosurgeon has to have as fundamental requirement as deep knowledge of the brainstem architecture and functional anatomy.
