The surgical treatment of infiltrating brain tumors is a complex and challenging aspect of neurosurgery, offering significant rewards. It involves intricate human interactions, cutting-edge neuroscience, and fascinating technology. In their book, "Video Atlas of Neurophysiological Monitoring in Surgery of Infiltrating Brain Tumors," renowned oncological neurosurgeon Michael Sabel and esteemed contributors showcase the practical applications of neurophysiological monitoring to ensure safe removal of these tumors, even in asleep and awake settings.

The book is organized into three primary parts. The first part provides an introduction, discussing the impact and challenges of infiltrating gliomas and cerebral metastases, as well as the philosophy behind supramarginal resection. The second part delves into critical theoretical components, encompassing relevant anatomy, nervous system electricity and fields, transcranial monitoring methods and principles, and direct cortical and subcortical mapping, including awake brain surgery. The final part offers insightful and practical guidance on decision-making, monitoring set-up, surgical case planning, and a summary of accompanying videos.

Key highlights of the book include a discussion of the impacted anatomy, physiology of the neural pathways monitored during brain tumor surgery, and key neurophysiological techniques for monitoring and testing during resection. Instructive illustrations accompany concise explanations, enhancing knowledge and facilitating understanding of these techniques. Fifteen videos, showcasing real-life intraoperative cases, provide in-depth insights on applying IONM principles to infiltrating brain tumors.

This comprehensive guide is a valuable resource for neurosurgeons, residents, and fellows seeking to enhance their knowledge and expertise in neurophysiological monitoring for safer brain tumor surgery. It serves as a valuable tool for navigating the complexities of this field and improving patient outcomes.
