Neurosurgery Basics

Why neurosurgery basics?

Neurosurgery as a surgical specialty has developed rapidly over the past decades. Due to modern surgical techniques in combination with improved radiological image diagnostics and significant advances in research, pathologies of the brain and spine can be adequately treated today. However, in order to understand the complexities and ever-changing achievements in neurosurgery, a solid basic knowledge of neurosurgical pathologies is essential. Anamnestic, clinical and image morphological examination results must be collected for accurate diagnoses and consequently correct surgical indications according to current guidelines. With an almost inexhaustible wealth of knowledge, it is therefore difficult for prospective neurosurgeons to narrow down their view of the essentials during their training. In order to contribute to the personal development of future specialists in the field of neurosurgery, neurology, neuroradiology, neuropathology, etc., “Neurosurgery Basics” was created. This online resource is intended to provide support in accessing the basic knowledge of neurosurgical pathologies in a consistent, concise and scientifically validated form. This in an online format that is always accessible….
