Neurology and Neuroscience
6 th International Conference on
The young specialty of neurosurgery is undergoing significant
and dynamic changes and at improving patient outcomes.
One of the key limitations faced during complex neurosurgical
procedures is the lack of ability to access patient’s neurological
functions during critical portions of the procedure. I will share
with you at this congress meeting new innovations directed at
decreasing the risks ofmorbidity are nowable
to performcomplex neurosurgical procedureswith the patient’s
awake. Thus allowing us to examine neurological function live
during the most critical portions of these procedures. We will
demonstrate awake aneurysm, AVM, extra-cranial to intra-
cranial bypass, and brain stem surgery. We will share published
data from this experience showing improved outcomes.
Speaker Biography
Saleem Abdulrauf is considered a leading figure in the field of neurosurgery.
Neurosurgeons from around the world come to SLU throughout the year to be taught
complex neurosurgical techniques by him. He has served as a visiting professor to over
100 universities around the globe. He has authored the main reference textbook for
brain bypass surgery titled “Cerebral Revascularization” in which Dr. Abdulrauf details
extra-cranial to intra-cranial bypass surgery. Additionally, he has pioneered a procedure
for brain bypass that is named after him. He has served on the boards of multiple
neurosurgical societies including the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS), the
North American Skull Base Society (NASBS), and the World Federation of Skull Base
Societies (WFSBS). His most preeminent role was his appointment as the inaugural
President of the Walter E. Dandy Neurosurgical Society, which is considered the
primary international society for operative neurosurgery. He has been named as one
of the Best Doctors in America annually for the last eight years. His opinion is routinely
sought for the treatment of complex cases by neurosurgeons from around the world
