This book offers an in-depth exploration of the most significant cranial surgical approaches in neurosurgery, blending tradition and hands-on experience. Designed for neurosurgery residents, fellows, and practicing neurosurgeons committed to lifelong learning, it serves as both a technical guide and a source of inspiration for excellence in the field. Organized into 21 meticulously structured chapters, the book covers a wide spectrum of procedures, from commonly performed surgeries to complex skull base and posterior fossa approaches. Each chapter is rooted in over a century of neurosurgical evolution, combining established literature with the authors personal refinements and procedural insights. The practical component is enriched by videos recorded from a surgeon s point of view using innovative technology, including action video cameras and microscope-mounted smartphones, with AI-generated narration to enhance clarity.
Neurosurgical Approaches Video Atlas addresses the gap between formal literature and the experiential knowledge passed from mentor to mentee. It invites readers to pursue excellence through continuous observation, study, and adaptation, recognizing that the journey toward mastery in neurosurgery is ongoing.

Helbert de Oliveira Manduca Palmiero, MD, PhD, IFAANS, FACS, is a board-certified neurosurgeon with advanced training in vascular and complex spine surgery. He completed his neurosurgical residency and PhD at the University of São Paulo and has held prestigious fellowships in Brazil, the United States, and Germany. He is currently a post-doctoral researcher in neuroanatomy, where he explores 3D modeling for surgical education. Dr. Palmiero is also an alumnus of Harvard Medical School’s postgraduate program Training to Teach in Medicine (T2TMed), which highlights his commitment to advancing neurosurgical education. He has authored multiple peer-reviewed publications and book chapters and has presented widely at international conferences, blending clinical excellence with academic innovation.
Eberval Gadelha Figueiredo, MD, PhD, completed a fellowship in microsurgery at the Barrow Neurological Institute (USA). He holds a PhD in sciences and is an Associate Professor of neurosurgery at the School of Medicine at the University of São Paulo (USP), as well as head of the Cerebrovascular Surgical Group at Division of Neurological Surgery (HCFMUSP). He has been Editor-in-Chief of Brazilian Neurosurgery, the official Brazilian neurosurgery journal, since 2011. Dr. Figueiredo is past president of the Brazilian Neurosurgical Society (2021–2022), Harvard University Alumni since 2015, and Director of International Affairs of Brazilian Neurosurgical Society since 2023. Dr. Figueiredo is the editor of seven books, including Brain Anatomy and Neurosurgical Approaches and Neurocritical Care for Neurosurgeons, published by Springer.
