Clinical Textbook of Epilepsy Surgery 2026: Principles, Practice and Advanced Surgical Techniques. - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Clinical Textbook of Epilepsy Surgery is a guide to restoring life for people whose seizures can’t be controlled with medicine.
It explains how doctors carefully map the brain, find where seizures start, and use precise, modern surgery to stop them while protecting memory, language, and movement. From advanced imaging and EEG to minimally invasive laser techniques and brain stimulation, it covers both the science and the human side of care.
At its heart, this book is about hope: giving patients a chance at seizure freedom, independence, and a fuller life — through expertise, technology, and compassionate, team-based decision making.

Why This 2026 Edition Is Essential
- From Evaluation to Outcome: Full pathway coverage — presurgical evaluation, intracranial monitoring, surgical decision-making, and long-term post-op management.
- Technique-Driven: Step-by-step operative descriptions with high-resolution imaging, anatomical diagrams, and surgical pearls from world-leading epilepsy centers.
- Innovation-Focused: Dedicated chapters on laser interstitial thermal therapy, robotic surgery, responsive neurostimulation, deep brain stimulation, and gene-targeted therapies.
