The 5th edition of the Guide to Neurosurgeons is again published in a one-volume version. Although the book has grown somewhat in size, it is still suitable as a pocket aid. To achieve this goal, part of the material had to be reduced. The author has always believed that the main strength of this book is its clinical focus, and purely surgical material can be presented in a special manual. The book is being published in a strategic partnership with Thieme Publishing, which will increase distribution. In addition, descriptions of the surgical techniques previously presented on its pages can now be found in a much larger volume in the companion manual published by Thieme, Fundamentals of Operative Neurosurgery, by Connolly, Choudri and Huang. Interventions that are performed on an outpatient basis or with radiographic guidance continue to be included in this guideline.

a) Hardware and software. Necessary equipment:
1. Planning block.
2. Neuronavigation system:
a) high-end computer systems.
b) infrared LED camera systems and detection.
c) a system of reflective markers.
d) touch screen monitor.
3. A sensor that registers skin marks, or
4. Laser based registration without coordinate sensors.
Required Software:
1. VectorVision (current version).
2. Image fusion software for multimodal neuronavigation.
You can use the following items:
1. Microscope integration (semi-robotic function).
a) instrument tracking (the microscope follows the instrument).
b) transition to the target (the microscope finds the position of a predetermined target).
c) return to the target (the focus of the microscope returns to the target from each new position)
2. Heads-Up Display (HUD) - "monitor above the head" (the contour of the tumor is displayed in the field of view of the microscope).
3. Video integration.
b) Navigation planning. Before starting the procedure, the following questions should be answered:
1. The position of the patient (on the stomach, on the back, with a turn of the head).
2. Type of surgical access.
3. The position of the head fixators.
4. Type of visualization.
a) three-dimensional MRI or 2- and 3-mm CT.
b) Can different image data such as MPT, DT1 or PET be connected to a navigation dataset?
in) Token based registration. Token-based registration includes the following steps:
1. Depending on the position of the patient's head during the operation, the sensors should be glued to the head around the target area.
2. Visualization.
3. Data transmission to the planning station.
4. Definition of the target area (tumor).
5. Combining images.
6. Planning of surgical access.
7. Registration of markers.
G) Patient Registration. The following steps are included in patient registration:
1. Data transfer to the neuronavigation system.
2. Display in three planes and 3D-reconstruction.
3. Positioning the patient and fixing the head in a rigid fixation system (for example, Mayfield) in accordance with the planned access.
4. Fixing the adapter of the transmitting "star" and the "star" itself.
5. The patient is registered with a pointer, touching points on the skin (when moving the head and registering, try not to move the sensors, otherwise inaccuracies are possible).
6. Determination of tumor boundaries and planning of craniotomy.
e) Navigation Accuracy. The accuracy of neuronavigation is determined by:
1. Image slice thickness.
2. Position of the patient.
3. Offset during head fixation and/or patient registration.
4. Displacement of the brain due to:
a) loss of cerebrospinal fluid.
b) the use of mannitol.
c) tumor reduction.
The average accuracy of patient registration is 0.7 mm. Intraoperative brain displacement varies between 1.5 and 6.0 mm, with an average of 3.9 mm. Surgical planning using neuronavigation cannot replace anatomical knowledge.
The localization of the lesion in the three-dimensional space of the brain and the best access should be known before the use of computer technology. Then neuronavigation can be used as a useful tool to improve the surgical procedure.
e) Indications for neuronavigation. In general, neuronavigation can be used in all neurosurgical procedures. The additional time required to set up navigation in our department ranges from 15 to 30 minutes and is justified.
Sometimes navigation is used only at the beginning of the operation to perform a perfectly placed small craniotomy, but sometimes it is used throughout the entire procedure. Even during endoscopic surgeries, such as transsphenoidal pituitary surgery, navigational assistance can be useful, especially in complex cases or reoperations.

” Ibragim Salamov, Tamerlan Koniev and Oleg Titov published instructions on how to properly study neurosurgery.
Theory
An important clarification: below will be given only the minimum that a person who is going to residency in neurosurgery should have. The deadline is the end of the first year of residency. During this time, you must read at least one book from each section. Otherwise, two whole years of residency can be spent on understanding basic things.
Books
We offer the following order of studying theory from books: neuroanatomy (simple and complex), neuroradiology (normal and pathology), neurology, operative neurosurgery (neuroanesthesiology, neurotraumatology, vascular neurosurgery, neurooncology, functional neurosurgery, spinal, pediatric neurosurgery, peripheral neurosurgery, endoscopic neurosurgery ), other books (microsurgery, neurophysiology, neurobiology).
For those who do not know English
“Learn English and go to the subchapter below” - we really wanted to leave only this sentence here. English is the global language spoken by physicians and scientists around the world. In medicine, without it, in any way, in neurosurgery - even more so. Neurosurgery in Russian is the tip of the iceberg, and only with knowledge of English can you dive to the right depth and see everything else. We hope you understand this. In the meantime, you are learning English, read these books in Russian.
Neuroanatomy. Start simple and gradually move on to something complex.
Simple neuroanatomy- books on normal anatomy and an introductory part of books on neurology and neurosurgery, which are issued by your university library as part of the curriculum. In normal anatomy, this can be, for example, a textbook by M. G. Prives or an atlas of the Sinelnikovs, but “Neurology and Neurosurgery”, for example, under the authorship of E. N. Gusev and A. N. Konovalov. Additionally, you can see the “Practical work on the anatomy of the human brain” by S. V. Saveliev and M. A. Negashev, the drawn atlas “The human nervous system: structure and disorders” edited by V. M. Astapov and Yu. V. Mikadze and the photographic atlas “ Anatomy of the brain "M. P. Bykov.
Complex neuroanatomy- this is, first of all, 2 volumes of "Neurosurgical Anatomy" edited by M. V. Pucillo and co-authors, and translated by M. Yu. Bobylov "Neuroanatomy: Atlas of Structures, Sections and Systems" by D. Haynes.
Neuroradiology. It is important to first deal with the norm and only then move on to pathology. "Diagnostic Neuroradiology" edited by V. N. Kornienko and I. N. Pronin in 5 volumes will satisfy all your needs. If you want only the norm and take it with you on duty, then you can take the book “Norm in CT and MRI Studies” by Torsten B. Meller and Emil Reif, translated by G.E. Trufanova and N.V. Marchenko. But it tells not only about the central nervous system. The normal and abnormal CNS alone is in the excellent recently translated book Imaging: The Brain, edited by Osborn, Saltzman, and Zaveri.
Neurology. From the Russian-language literature, we advise you to study "Topical Diagnosis in Neurology" by Peter Duus.
Neurosurgery(operative neurosurgery). In general, it will be enough if you read a book where there is a little bit of everything, for example, the manual “Neurosurgery” by M.S. Grinberg, the two-volume book of the same name by O.N. Guseva, A.N. Konovalov and V.I. Skvortsova.
But it would be ideal if you read one good book from each section below.

neuroanatomy. For a painless entry, as usual, we start with simple neuroanatomy - "Atlas of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology" by Netter et al., or "Clinical Neuroanatomy made ridiculously simple" by Stephen Goldberg. Next, we move on to more complex - "Clinical Neuroanatomy" by Stephen G. Waxman or Rhoton's books: "Atlas of Head, Neck and Brain" and, more neurosurgically, "Cranial Anatomy and Surgical Approaches".
Neuroradiology. Brain. Imaging, pathology and anatomy” (Osborn et al.); "Brain imaging with MRI and CT" (Rumboldt et al.); «Diagnostic imaging. Spine" (Ross, Moore et al.).
Neurology. Oxford Handbook of Neurology Hadi Manji et al.
Neurosurgery(operative neurosurgery). Here you need to fall in love with books from publishers such as Springer, Thieme, Elsevier. You can also read either one good book with all the top sections, or a book in each section. To cover all sections of neurosurgery, for example, the same Mark S. Greenberg tries in his "Handbook of Neurosurgery", or you can read Osborn's "Neurosurgery". Sectioned below.

Articles
Clinical guidelines
Each country has its own clinical guidelines. For example, in Russia, clinical guidelines can be read on the website of the Association of Neurosurgeons of Russia.
Or in a thread "Notes of a neurosurgeon". Not only Russian recommendations are published there, but also foreign ones.
Magazines
We advise you to read the "Journal of Neurosurgery" - there is an appendix, but it is very convenient to flip through it even without appendices. If access is limited, then “break” the article you are interested in through Sci-hub and study it. Also read the domestic "Issues of Neurosurgery", "Neurosurgery", "Spine Surgery" and so on. Most of them also have applications.
Patents and dissertations
We have singled out patents and dissertations in a separate subchapter, because, unlike magazines - passive consumption of information, this is an active process. Go, for example, to Google Patents or Freepatent, drive in random words on a topic of interest, stumble upon delicious patents and enjoy. With regards to dissertations, you can search, for example, on the website of the RSL (Russian State Library).
Practice
Duty in the department
It does not matter if you have a top department that takes on the most complex operations, or a department that operates only emergency and uncomplicated ones - it will be useful for you to be on duty everywhere. Approach the teacher, directly to the neurosurgeons on duty, to the guys who are already walking - it doesn't matter. Your main task is to break into the department. Don't let rejection break you. Knock until they open. Find your mentor, learn from him, ask incomprehensible moments, assist in operations. Reinforce your theoretical knowledge with practice.
Attendance at autopsies
The ideal place to study the structures of the CNS is the mortuary. Ask for an autopsy, study both macro- and microstructure: normal and pathological morphology. Believe me, seeing the brain in photographs and seeing it live are completely different sensations.
Self-training
With a strong desire, you can build a whole training neuro-platform at home. One has only to buy a used microscope, microinstruments, chicken wing or drumstick in the store, get a suture at 9/0 and higher (monofilament, atraumatic, stabbing) and train microsurgical skills (microvascular anastomoses, nerve plasty). Ideally, if all this is done on a live rat. If it is not possible to purchase a microscope, then you can ask for the department of topographic anatomy of the alma mater and do it all there. How to learn to do a craniotomy at home? Go to the Leroy Merlin store, buy a Dremel 3000, buy pork / lamb heads on the market - and go! If you live in a private house with a garage, then weld yourself a Mayfield fixator, fix a ram's head there and train translabyrinthic accesses under a previously purchased microscope using a previously purchased diamond jewelry bur.
Offline and online development
Offline
These are various kinds of conferences, lectures, master classes. Lucky for those who study in cities such as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Tyumen, Novosibirsk, Rostov - there is a lot of different movement. Wein and Diamond readings, conferences on strokes, Parkinson's disease (NPs), epilepsy, neurocritical care, and so on. There are so many of them, you can't count them all. Install the Neurogid application for yourself, visit the websites of associations and federal centers of neurosurgery, subscribe to specialized publics and channels - and it will be almost impossible to miss the news about the upcoming conference. Attending conferences is not always free, especially if 3D live surgery is planned there. Master classes, of course, are mostly paid.
Online
There are more opportunities for those who know English. Below is a list of YouTube channels worth subscribing to. There you will from time to time stumble upon lectures, broadcasts of conferences and master classes. Among all the channels, we highlight the channel of Dr. John Bennet "Neurosurgical TV", where many large international neuro-conferences are broadcast. In addition, there are weekly lectures from neurosurgeons from around the world. The most famous neurosurgeons of the planet often become guests of the broadcast. So this option is ideal for guys who live in small towns and do not have the opportunity to attend conferences.
Networking
Everything is simple here: the more you get to know, communicate with people from this area, the more and faster you grow. Attend student scientific circles in neurology and neurosurgery, participate in competitions, join profile chats and groups. In a word, look for like-minded people not only at your university, but also in other cities and even countries. Unfortunately, there is no association of young neurosurgeons in our country yet, but it will appear very soon. You must be involved in such associations, and after residency - in the Association of Neurosurgeons of Russia and other international associations, such as WFNS or EANS. Before such a specialist, many roads and opportunities open up. The main message: in our business it is impossible to be clamped, closed introvert. You need to be open to the exchange of experience and acquire connections.
As for chats, here are the most famous of them:
Scientific activity
In parallel, do not forget to do science. Ideally, if you work on some project of your own, patent your invention, participate in international scientific conferences and publish in respected journals. But it's okay if it's some kind of retrospective work or small prospective studies that you do with departments. The main thing is to do science, get used to searching for information, scientific slang, and get your hands on it. And, all the more so, these same scientific works, oh, how useful to you when applying for residency.
Microenvironment
Here we will talk about the desirable actions that you can perform in your free time. The main message: to create a versatile developing environment with a neurosurgical focus. Cozy, useful, comfortable and culturally enriching.
cultural baggage
It is important to know the history of the development of neurosurgery, to know the forefathers, both domestic and foreign. This is a tribute. Well, as N. N. Burdenko said: “There are times when, in order to illuminate and understand the present, it is useful to turn over a few forgotten pages in the history of medicine, and perhaps not so much forgotten as for many unknown.” It can be articles on the Internet, fiction and biographical books, films, series. Also - any art that concerns neurosurgery and neurology and what goes beyond them. A neurosurgeon, like any doctor, must be a culturally enriched person.
Social networks and the Internet
Try to set up your feeds to be 70% neurosurgery and 30% neuroscience with general medicine and science. Hahashek and memes should be kept to a minimum.
You may not know what to sign up for. We will help you from neurosurgery. Below are the main sources that we advise the future and current neurosurgeon to subscribe to (pay special attention to YouTube channels - you will learn a lot there).
