Chirurgie hlavových a periferních nervů s atlasem přístupů – Kaiser Radek (2016)

The information in the publication will be particularly appreciated by neurosurgeons and neurologists, plastic surgeons, general surgeons, and orthopedists. The book summarizes current knowledge in the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and diagnostics of nerve injuries, compression syndromes, and neuro-oncology, as well as Czech and global experiences with their surgical treatment. It includes information on the latest reconstructive techniques for injuries to the brachial plexus. The text is based on the clinical and research experience of a neurosurgeon, while the visual section comes from collaboration between clinicians and anatomists. Leading experts from the fields of neurology, anesthesiology, radiodiagnostics, pathology, rehabilitation, orthopedics, algology, and ENT also contributed to the monograph. The graphical section in the form of an atlas of surgical approaches is a significant contribution to the monograph. Photographs from anatomical preparations depicting commonly used instruments illustrate the precise steps from skin incision through the dissection of subcutaneous structures to the specific nerve. Diagrams also highlight important structures at the site of access, whose precise anatomical guidance reduces unnecessary postoperative complications, particularly in the form of sensory disturbances from damage to sensory nerves. Anatomical drawings are, of course, included with...
