A panel of highly experienced neurosurgeons, neurophysiologists, neuropsychologists, and neuroanatomists join forces to create an integrated, cutting-edge survey all of the methodologies necessary for successful surgical treatment. On the surgical side they review a variety of techniques for Parkinson's disease, including thalamotomy, pallidotomy and bilateral pallidotomy, subthalamotomy, pallidal and thalamic deep brain stimulation, and subthalmic deep brain stimulation. Surgical therapy for tremor and dystonia is also covered. On the patient side, the authors systematically examine the key issues involved in any surgical procedure: Patient selection, patient assessment before and after surgery, brain target localization, and postoperative programming of brain stimulators.

"This is an excellent resource for neurologists, neurosurgeons, and other practitioners who work in the field of movement disorders. Written and edited by experts in the field, the book provides concise but comprehensive reviews of the current thought on patient selection, surgical techniques, and even postoperative management of these complicated patients." -Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal "...provides an excellent reference for those within the field on the state-of-the-art...summarizes the relevant and up-to-date science of movement disorder surgery and would certainly be a valuable addition to a neurosurgical library." - British Journal of Neurosurgery "...a welcome addition to the catalogue as the first comprehensive reference book on (Parkinson's Disease)." - Age and Ageing
