摘要

《神经外科手术手册:一步一步的图集》,由Jaypee Brothers出版,dr。Balaji Pai和他的团队包括Asima Banu和Sandesh Khandelwal,这是一本两卷的视觉盛宴。这本两卷本的神经外科手术图谱是Balaji Pai博士“对神经外科艺术的强烈迷恋和热爱的劳动”的甜蜜产物。巴拉吉在他的序言中强调,这次冒险的重点是通过照片和插图而不是通过理论来教授神经外科。这一步一步的图像神经外科手术地图集击中了目标,编辑团队当然可以称赞一个很好的完成目标。这本书实际上是通过神经外科从基本技术到神经外科最新进展的所有方面的插图指导之旅。全书共2卷,共21节155章,共1684页,每章均由学科专家撰写。1).第一卷包括术前计划、基本技术、创伤与肿瘤外科、颅底外科、脑血管外科。第二卷集中在神经内窥镜,眶手术,功能神经外科,小儿神经外科,颅椎交界处手术,脊柱外科,包括脊柱内窥镜和微创脊柱手术。章节以系统的方式组织,以简短的介绍和关于定位的详细信息开始,然后是一步一步的操作纪录片,补充了操作照片和放射图像。锦上添花的是每一章结尾提供的智慧之珠。挑出某些章节进行特别评论会令人反感。除了经常讨论的关于创伤、肿瘤和血管手术的章节外,还有一些章节涉及较新的概念,如神经内窥镜检查和微创脊柱手术,这使得本书成为任何神经外科医生在进化方面的全面参考图集。此外,对于一名神经外科医生来说,这是一个简单的计算工具,他/她可以在任何手术之前快速浏览和修改。考虑到这是一本完全基于相机照片、内窥镜视图和高质量显微图像的书,地图集的制作方面非常出色。期望从为本书做出贡献的一百多位作者那里获得一致的高质量图像是困难的。此外,通过操作显微镜获得的照片在清晰度上差异很大,眩光常常掩盖了关键特征。然而,插图清晰,印刷,文字和图像的质量为眼睛提供了平滑的阅读。图片的注释和简短详细的说明便于参考。每一章的文字内容已经减少到最低限度,平均每章有15个插图。是的,一个问题是这两卷书的体积太大,读者携带起来有点吃力。另一种选择是将其分成多卷,这再次增加了版本的体积。不可避免地,比较将被进行,作为一个有效的地图集,被审查的卷将与其他的进行比较,特别是目前最流行的在线地图集由Aaron Cohen。Balaji博士的书的独特之处在于所描述的手术方法反映了每个作者在多年积累的经验中提炼的技术。该技术可能不同于标准的教科书描述,但提供了一个实用的和经过时间考验的方法来探究学习的头脑。出于同样的原因,编辑们故意省略了参考文献,因为这本手册是根据每个作者的个人经验提炼出来的,经过多年的反复磨练和失败,才得以润色。我相信,正是这一点使这本书成为独一无二的瑰宝,使它从无数的离线和在线的神经外科手术书籍中脱颖而出。

Operative Manual of Neurosurgery: A Step by Step Pictorial Atlas —A Review
Operative Manual of Neurosurgery: A Step by Step Pictorial Atlas, published by Jaypee Brothers and authored byDr. Balaji Pai and his team comprising Asima Banu and Sandesh Khandelwal, is a two-volume visual delight. This twovolume operative atlas of neurosurgery is the sweet product of Dr. Balaji Pai’s “labor of intense fascination and love for thefine art of neurosurgery.”Dr. Balaji, in his preface, highlights that the focus of this venture is to teach neurosurgery through photographs and illustrations rather than through theory. This step-by-step pictorial operative atlas of neurosurgery hits the mark, and the editorial team can certainly be complimented for a goal well accomplished. The book is virtually an illustrated guided tour through all aspects of neurosurgery starting from basic technique to recent advances in neurosurgery. The book has 2 volumes comprising 21 sections with 155 chapters spread over a total of 1,684 pages, with each chapter authored by subject experts (►Fig. 1). Volume I includes preoperative planning, basic techniques, surgery for trauma and tumors, skull base surgery, and cerebrovascular surgery. Volume II concentrates on neuroendoscopy, orbital surgery, functional neurosurgery, pediatric neurosurgery, craniovertebral junction surgery, and spine surgery including spinal endoscopy and minimally invasive spine surgery. Chapters are organized in a systematic manner, starting with a brief introduction and details about positioning followed by a step-by-step operative documentary supplemented by operative photographs and radiological images. The icing on the cake is the pearls of wisdom provided at the end of each chapter. Singling out chapters for special comment would be invidious. In addition to often-discussed chapters on trauma, tumors, and vascular surgery, there are chapters that deal with newer concepts such as neuroendoscopy and minimally invasive spine surgery, which makes this book a comprehensive, go-to reference atlas for any neurosurgeon in evolution. In addition, for a practicing neurosurgeon, it is an easy ready reckoner, which he/she can brush through and revise just before scrubbing up for any surgery. The production aspect of the atlas is excellent considering the fact that this is a book based exclusively on camera photographs, endoscopic views, and highquality microscopic images. Expecting uniformly highquality images from the over hundred authors who have contributed to this book is difficult. Moreover, photographs obtained through the operation microscope vary considerably in clarity and glare often obscures crucial features.
