    Description

    Neurosurgical interventions have the potential to change a person's concept of self, as well as affect their neurological and cognitive function to an unacceptable level for both patient and family. In an increasingly complex and evolving field, the ethical implications of treatments and their eventual outcomes must be carefully balanced. Ethics in Neurosurgical Practice is a comprehensive and practical guide for managing the treatment of patients with debilitating neurosurgical conditions. Chapters address specific conditions, such as traumatic brain injuries, ischemic stroke and spinal surgery, and the ethical challenges that each of these pose. Detailed case studies present potential scenarios that readers might encounter, and their outcomes. Future developments of this fast-paced field are expanded upon, including televised live surgery and the ethical aspects of innovation in neurosurgery. A broad variety of contributors in different fields, including neurosurgeons, intensivists and bioethicists, ensures comprehensive coverage from a range of views and experiences.

    • A targeted, disease-specific approach with chapters focusing on specific neurological conditions means that the book is practical and accessible for use in daily clinical practice
    • Readers are guided through examples of scenarios they might face with the help of detailed case studies that explore the ethical issues in detail and place them in a broader context
    • Contributors come from a wide range of fields including neurosurgeons, intensivists and bioethicists, giving a variety of viewpoints and experiences that will appeal to, and aid, a broad readership

    Reviews & endorsements

    ‘This introductory ethics textbook follows the conventional format both stylistically and structurally. It includes chapters on ethical theories … ethical issues specific to neurosurgical practice, case scenarios, developments in neurosurgical technologies, and specific procedures that have introduced new ethical issues … the book becomes a valuable resource for both students and practitioners by opening a questioning dialog and by sustaining the conversation about current ethical considerations in neurosurgical practice.’ D. P. Turner, Choice
