About This Book

The text presents a practical surgical handbook on operations involving the skull and brain, opening with cranio-cerebral topography and surface markings and proceeding to operative technique including trephining, scalp-tourniquets, and osteoplastic flaps. It surveys congenital and traumatic conditions—cephaloceles, birth fractures, hydrocephalus, and skull fractures—then details management of intracranial injuries, extradural and subdural hemorrhages, and the delayed consequences of head trauma. Subsequent chapters address intracranial tumors, infectious lesions such as abscesses and meningitis, and penetrating and bullet wounds, with guidance on exposure, decompression, and sinus management. Later sections cover trigeminal neuralgia and primary bone tumors of the skull, supported throughout by clinical illustrations and operative guidance.
