Ebook Neurologi : Pediatric Neuro Surgery : Trick of The Trade

---

Most neurosurgeons are familiar with the quote
Ars longa, vita brevis—the art is long, life is short.
Although written in Latin, this quote is ascribed to the
ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, from his work
entitled Aphorismi. Perhaps unlike any other neurosurgical subspecialty, pediatric neurosurgery is a discipline of nuances in which the subtleties of practice
are brought to bear over the course of one’s professional career. Even then, a lifetime is insufficient to
learn everything. Of course, I speak of both the cognitive and the procedural sides of pediatric neurosurgery. Our practice of pediatric neurosurgery is, after
all, an amalgam of time-honored methods that have
been passed on to us from our mentors, who learned
in a similar manner from their mentors, in a cycle dating back to the origins of pediatric neurosurgery with
Franc Ingraham at the Children’s Hospital in Boston,
who himself was a disciple of the founding father of
organized neurosurgery, Harvey Cushing. What better way is there for us to appreciate and learn the
wisdom of the ages in pediatric neurosurgery than
to adapt the teachings of experts who have imparted
their knowledge to us in this unique and accessible
textbook.
In Pediatric Neurosurgery: Tricks of the Trade, residents, fellows, and neurosurgeons alike will find an
up-to-date compendium of Pearls and Pitfalls involving approaches to pediatric neurosurgical conditions
that will help improve the delivery of patient care
and satisfy best practices. From patient positioning,
to neuroanesthetic considerations, to optimum postoperative management, it is clear that this textbook
transcends the typical multiauthored textbook on
the technical aspects of pediatric neurosurgery. I was
thus pleased to see the attention paid to neurosurgical judgment throughout all chapters, as it is just
as important to know when to operate as to know
when not to. In addition, care was taken to ensure
that the content of the textbook was comprehensive, innovative, and timely. As examples, chapters
on the management of scoliosis, external distraction
for frontofacial advancement, intrathecal therapy for
movement disorders, and laser ablation for deep brain
lesions would not have existed in textbooks written
for pediatric neurosurgeons a decade ago.
