About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Introduction to Neurosurgery” by Brian L. Hoh, MD and Gregory J. Zipfel, MD.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about neurosurgery, a specialized branch of medicine that involves the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting the nervous system, including the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves. It involves the use of surgical techniques to treat a range of neurological disorders, including tumors, trauma, vascular disorders, infections, and degenerative diseases.

Neurosurgeons are highly skilled medical professionals who undergo extensive training in the surgical and non-surgical management of neurological conditions. They work closely with other medical specialists, including neurologists, radiologists, oncologists, and rehabilitation therapists, to provide comprehensive care to patients with neurological disorders.

The field of neurosurgery has evolved significantly over the past few decades, thanks to advances in technology and surgical techniques. Today, neurosurgeons are able to perform a wide range of procedures using minimally invasive techniques, which offer faster recovery times and fewer complications than traditional open surgeries.

Neurosurgery is a complex and demanding field that requires a high level of expertise and precision. It is also one of the most rewarding specialties in medicine, as it allows surgeons to help patients regain function and quality of life after neurological injury or disease.

Definition of Neurosurgery
Slide 4-

Neurosurgery Constitutes a medical discipline and surgical specialty that provides care for adult and pediatric patients in the treatment of pain or pathological processes that may modify the function or activity of the central nervous system (e.g. brain, hypophysis, and spinal cord), the peripheral nervous system (e.g. cranial, spinal, and peripheral nerves), the autonomic nervous system, the supporting structures of these systems (e.g. meninges, skull & skull base, and vertebral column), and their vascular supply (e.g. intracranial, extracranial, and spinal vasculature). Treatment encompasses both non-operative management (e.g. prevention, diagnosis – including image interpretation – and treatments such as, but not limited to neurocritical intensive care and rehabilitation) and operative management with its associated image use and interpretation (e.g. endovascular surgery, functional and restorative surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery, and spinal fusion – including its instrumentation).

History of Neurosurgery
Slide 6-

History of Neurosurgery Evidence suggests that the first trepanations may have occurred up to 10,000 years ago 460-370 BC Hippocrates describes types of trauma in which trepanation may be performed 129-200 AD Galen describes trepanation for hydrocephalus

History of Neurosurgery Pierre Paul Broca localizes and drains brain abscess 1876 in Paris Sir William Macewan excises meningioma in 1879, performs laminectomy in 1883

History of Neurosurgery 1918 Walter Dandy develops pneumoencephalography 1927 Egas Moniz performs cerebral angiography 1971 Godfrey Hounsfield & Allan Cormack develop CT scan; won Nobel Prize in 1972

History of Neurosurgery Sir Victor Horsley (1857-1916) Intraoperative cortical stimulation to localize epileptic foci Bone wax Transcranial approach to pituitary Ligation of carotid artery to treat aneurysm Intracranial division of trigeminal nerve root to treat trigeminal neuralgia Horsley-Clarke stereotactic frame
Slide 10-

History of Neurosurgery Harvey Cushing (1869-1939) Developed anesthesia record Cushing response to intracranial hypertension With Bovie developed electrocautery Function of the pituitary gland – Cushing’s disease Reduced mortality from neurosurgical operations from 80-90% down to 10% Father of American Neurosurgery
Slide 11-

History of Neurosurgery Walter Dandy (1886-1946) Trained under Cushing Described CSF physiology and hydrocephalus Developed pneumoencephalography Dandy-Walker malformation/syndrome First described clipping of cerebral aneurysm 1938

Neurosurgical Workforce Shortages Only 83% of neurosurgeons take emergency call 24/7/365 178 board certified pediatric neurosurgeons 42% will retire within the next decade Only 6 enter workforce each year, falling short of demand 305 vacant neurosurgery positions in the U.S. in 2011 192 generalists, spine‐focused neurosurgeons, or unidentified 113 subspecialists, including neurovascular, endovascular, pediatric Sources: Neurosurgery Statement to IOM ‐‐ Ensuring an Adequate Neurosurgical Workforce American Board of Neurological Surgery

Residency Training: Year 1: Internship year: May include some rotations outside neurosurgery like ICU, trauma surgery, neurology. Year 2: Junior resident: Learning the basics of neurosurgical assessment, patient management, and surgical procedures Year 3: Senior resident: Learning more advanced degrees of patient care and surgical procedures Year 4/5/6: There are frequently some permutation of pediatric neurosurgery, neurological electives, research (3mons to 2 years), and directing some services at a Chief Resident level of management Year 7: Chief Resident: Learning how to direct a large neurosurgical service, transition toward being able to independently do the routine neurosurgical procedures

The Spectrum of Neurosurgery Residencies Residencies vary in size with some programs matching 1 resident a year up to 4 residents per year Residencies vary in regard to the cities in which they reside: Some are in large metropolitan centers with many large academic centers while others are in relatively smaller cities Residencies vary in regard to the degree of research time that is incorporated into the curriculum however research is a part of all residency programs With more than 105 programs, there are a wide range of “personalities” of residencies

Conclusions Neurosurgery is a rewarding and intellectually stimulating career Opportunity to profoundly affect the lives of patients, often times to save lives Multiple subspecialties with diverse diseases and different types of procedures, or general neurosurgeon who can have a broad practice Current and future shortage of neurosurgeons so need for more neurosurgeons
