Springer Key Concepts in MIN - Intracerebral Hemorrhage Evacuation: Volume 2: Basics 2

This book adds in chapter 1 and 2 the MIN-key techniques Laser and sealing, completing the 3 MIN-key techniques of the first volume. In chapter 3 the evolution of anatomy to a key-concept of MIN is described, presenting theory and reality of anatomical perspectives that can be used by the MIN-surgeon directly in the OR. Anatomy must be elaborated according to Gestalt-Theory to become a Key of MIN. Still anatomy is the "House of Medicine”, giving a mental place to all knowledge, theories and biological functions. The "surgical simulation concept" of chapter 4 as trainings environment follows, also as a key-concept of MIN. In this chapter we draw the line from Gestalt-Anatomy to a Surgical Simulation Application in Pathological Anatomy exemplified in aneurysm cases. Chapter 5 presents the best preservation technique of anatomical perishable matter, forming durable, dry and odorless specimen of unknown precision and beauty. The scientific value of this unique technique and the benefit for MIN are shown by many examples.With the Plastination gallery of chapter 6 the best head-plastinates and sheet-plastinates of head and brain complete the volume. Many of the specimen have been shown around the globe in the famous exhibitions “body worlds“ (Prof. Dr. G. v. Hagens/Inventor of Plastination).

Dr. Resch is a well known neurosurgeon working since 30 years on MIN. His main working fields are surgical neuro-anatomy and planning, ergonomics in neurosurgery, advanced micro-neurosurgery, endoscopic neurosurgery and ultrasound guided neurosurgery. He has a large experience in intracerebral hemorrhage evacuation using innovative minimally invasive, fast and cheap interventions. For MIN research he developed a new concept and training/simulation environment and introduced the trans-endoscopic ultrasound to neurosurgery. Prof. Resch is contributing author of 14 books and main author of 3 book publications. He received several awards and honors, including the Rudolf-Schindler-Award and ISMINS Awards. He is one of the co-vice presidents of ISMINS, faculty member of several WFNS courses and annual courses of the MIN -Training project at University of Guadalajara/ Mexico since 17 years. His favorite ambition is philosophy and art of brain and mind.
