The Neurosurgical Atlas The Neurosurgical Atlas is the most popular and comprehensive resource for microsurgical techniques in the world.

The Neurosurgical Atlas is the most comprehensive regularly updated atlas on the web, keeping neurosurgeons abreast of cutting edge technical nuances. We aim to teach techniques to improve patients' safety and surgical outcome. Our vast collection of surgical videos and illustrations provide a clear and concise road map while elucidating surgical nuances for proper completion of even the most difficult procedures. The site also features resources for patients at http://www.neurosurgicalatlas.com/video-conference-center

Reviewing the scan is only the beginning of operative planning.

ATLAS Surgeon helps neurosurgeons turn patient imaging into a more practical surgical workspace, where the lesion, surrounding anatomy, trajectory, and approach can be studied together before the case begins. This gives the surgeon a clearer way to assess exposure, anticipate anatomical constraints, and refine the operative plan before entering the OR.

For complex cases, the benefit is practical: better spatial understanding, more deliberate planning, and a stronger connection between imaging review and surgical ex*****on.

Chondrosarcoma treatment is shaped by a central surgical challenge: how to remove as much tumor as possible while respecting the anatomy that surrounds it.

For skull base lesions, the endonasal transsphenoidal route can provide a direct corridor to tumors located deep beneath the brain. Its effectiveness depends not only on the route itself, but on the surgeon’s ability to navigate complex midline anatomy, preserve critical neurovascular structures, and understand where safe resection must stop.

Operative education is most valuable when anatomy, exposure, and technique are studied together.

The Neurosurgical Atlas gives surgeons and trainees access to real operative cases that demonstrate how complex approaches are planned, performed, and adapted within the surgical field. Each case offers more than a view of the procedure; it provides context for the anatomical relationships, technical decisions, and operative strategies that shape advanced neurosurgery.

Chondrosarcomas can be difficult to recognize early because their symptoms often reflect compression or involvement of nearby neural structures rather than the tumor itself.

At the skull base, patients may present with visual disturbance, diplopia, headache, vertigo, imbalance, hearing loss, facial numbness, dysphagia, or facial pain. When the tumor involves the spine, symptoms may shift toward back pain, sensory changes, bowel or bladder dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, or gait difficulty.

For neurosurgeons, these symptom patterns must be interpreted anatomically. The location of the lesion determines which structures are affected, which deficits may develop, and how evaluation and treatment planning should proceed.

In complex cases, every step of the operation is shaped by the patient’s anatomy.

ATLAS Surgeon allows you to plan your entire operation in a patient-specific environment, from incision and craniotomy to drilling, trajectory, approach selection, and anatomical exposure.

For challenging cases, preparation is strongest when the operative strategy is built around your patient’s exact anatomy.

Non-functioning pituitary adenomas must be managed according to size, growth behavior, symptoms, and their relationship to the optic apparatus.

When visual compromise is present, transsphenoidal surgery is often the most effective treatment because decompression of the optic pathways becomes a priority. Smaller asymptomatic tumors may be followed with observation, while moderate-sized tumors in younger patients can warrant earlier intervention to reduce the risk of future visual decline. Radiation is typically reserved for residual or recurrent disease when additional control is needed.

The management of non-functioning pituitary tumors depends on anticipating risk, not simply reacting to symptoms once they appear.

The pituitary gland occupies one of the most clinically important regions of the skull base.

Although small, it regulates hormonal systems that influence growth, metabolism, cortisol production, and reproductive function. When a pituitary adenoma develops in this confined sellar region, its significance is not only endocrine-related. As the lesion enlarges, its relationship to the optic apparatus becomes central to diagnosis, symptom progression, and treatment planning.

For neurosurgeons, pituitary disease requires a detailed understanding of both glandular function and the surrounding skull base anatomy.

In complex neurosurgery, risk is often defined by what lies along the path to the lesion.

ATLAS Surgeon helps neurosurgeons study those high-risk relationships in a patient-specific environment before the operation begins, including the structures, corridors, and anatomical constraints that may influence the approach. By identifying potential hazard zones in advance, the platform supports more deliberate planning before you enter the operative field.

For cases where millimeters matter, better preparation begins with knowing what must be avoided.

In this operative video, Dr. Cohen demonstrates clip ligation of a right P1 aneurysm using a contralateral cross-court approach through a left-sided pterional craniotomy.

Exposure of the basilar apex, bifurcation, and contralateral P1 segment allows the aneurysm neck and adjacent perforating vessels to be inspected from a favorable angle. Temporary occlusion of the basilar trunk provides control during manipulation of the neck, while the narrow corridor medial to the carotid artery is used to verify the relationship of the clip blades to the perforators.

A long straight clip is applied across the aneurysm neck with careful attention to preserving perforator flow. This view highlights the value of approach selection when aneurysm anatomy is best addressed from the opposite side.

Move beyond image review by rehearsing the case on the patient’s own anatomy.

ATLAS Surgeon lets you evaluate the planned approach, exposure, trajectory, and risk before entering the OR, so you can build the operative plan around the exact anatomy that will define the procedure.

For complex cases, preparation is not only about recognizing the pathology. It is about understanding the operative path before the first incision is made.
