In recent years several major technical advances particularly
in the treatment of vascular malformations (aneurysms,
AVMs, and cavernomas), brain and spinal tumours, and skull
base surgery have been introduced into neurosurgery. These
include refinements in microsurgical techniques, microscopic
fluorescent techniques (e.g. 5-ALA, ICG-Angiography, etc.) for
maximizingsaferesectionofintrinsicbraintumorsandtreatment
of aneurysms and AVMs, introduction of neuroendoscopy,
and routine usage of intraoperative neuromonitoring in
appropriate cases. We present these latest technical advances
in the treatment of vascular malformations as important and
potentially curable causes of stroke, in neurooncology (glioma,
meningioma, neurinoma, etc.) and in the resection of skull base
lesions demonstrating their impact on preserving neurological
integrety with resultant preservation of patients life quality
after microneurosurgery. Appropriate selection and application
of these new techniques under discussion in neurosurgery has
resulted in a better outcome after microsurgical treatment
of brain and spinal tumors, vascular malformations, and skull
base lesions. This includes more radical tumor resection and
avoidance of new neurological deficits with preservation of
patients neurological integrety, prolonged life expectancy in
malignant brain tumors and preservation of patients life quality
after surgical treatment of vascular malformations.
Speaker Biography
Hischam Bassiouni is Director of Neurosurgical Departments of Klinikum St. Marien
Amberg and KlinikumWeiden and Associate Professor of Department of Neurosurgery.
He is the full member of German Neurosurgical Society (DGNC), European
Neurosurgical society (EANS), German skull base society (DGSB). He completed his
Neurosurgical training at University Hospital Aachen and University Hospital Essen,
Germany. He is the first author of 13 publications in high-ranged neurosurgical journals
and authored several chapters in international neurosurgical reference books. Also, the
peer-reviewer for several international journals including Brain Research, Neurologia
India, Journal of Neurology, Clinical Neurology & Neurosurgery, Neurosurgical Review,
Surgical Neurology etc. His neurosurgical experience includes microsurgery on > 2000
brain tumors and > 800 intracranial vascular malformations with routine application
of latest technology including neuronavigation, microscopic fluorescent techniques,
intraoperative monitoring, neuroendoscopy etc.
