Burchiel Kim J. (ed.) Surgical Management of Pain

Thieme, 2002. — 1010 p. — ISBN: 3131259817Not since White and Sweet published Pain and the Neurosurgeon in the 1960s has there been a comprehensive review of the entire field of neurosurgical pain management. You will find a complete synthesis of all current concepts of pain neuroanatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology; new procedures that minimize invasiveness and postoperative neurological deficits; and the entire scope of surgical and medical management of chronic pain. In addition, you will benefit from the expertise of the international board of contributors, a virtual who's who in pain medicine, management, and surgery.Basic Considerations
