About this book

This book covers all aspects of awake craniotomy, including preoperative management, intraoperative handling, and postoperative follow-ups. It will be discussed preoperative preparedness, essential neurocognitive assessments, and how to provide a patient for cooperative operation step by step. Intraoperative requirements and appropriate neuro-monitoring will be pointed out along with surgical nuances accompany by helpful photographs. Finally, the postoperative management, how we should control the patient in the short-term and long-term, and what investigations are necessary postoperatively will be explained. This book will assist neurosurgeons in negotiating the steep learning curve involved in gaining the skills needed to perform awake surgery of brain tumors, which offers significant advantages in terms of avoidance of preventable neurological deficits besides obtaining optimal outcome. Indeed, primary audiences of this work are neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuroscientists, and neuro-anesthesiologists, and it will contain neuropsychiatry, neurosciences, neurology, neurosurgery, anesthesiology, and neurophysiologic contents.

About the editors

Ahmad Pour-Rashidi (MD) is a neurosurgeon and assistant professor of Neurosurgery at Tehran University of Medical Sciences and Head of Glioma Research Center with nine years of successful experience in awake cognitive neurosurgery specifically in brain glioma. Ahmad graduated in neurosurgery at Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) and interested in neuro-oncology. Outside of work, Ahmad enjoys artificial intelligence and foreign language learning. He has written 1 textbook and 9 book chapters and has over 40 publications in international journals.

Hugues DUFFAU (MD, PhD) is Professor and Chairman of the Neurosurgery Department in the Montpellier University Medical Center and Head of the INSERM 1051 Team “Plasticity of the central nervous system, human stem cells and glial tumors” at the Institute for Neurosciences of Montpellier (France). He is an expert in the awake cognitive neurosurgery of slow-growing brain tumors, such as low-grade gliomas, a routine which he has developed for twenty years. His fundamental approach is centered on the concepts of brain connectomics and neuroplasticity, breaking with the traditional localizationist view of cerebral processing. For his innovative work in neurosurgery and neurosciences, he was awarded Doctor Honoris Causa several times, and he was the youngest recipient of the prestigious Herbert Olivecrona Award from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. He has written 4 textbooks and over 335 publications in international journals.
