This issue of Neurosurgery Clinics, edited by Drs. Shahid Nimjee and Russell Lonser, will cover Coagulation and Hematology in Neurological Surgery. Topics include Biology of coagulation and coagulopathy; Evaluation of the coagulation in the neurosurgery patient; Genetics of hyper- and hypo-coagulable states; Anticoagulants: pharmacokinetics, mechanisms of action and indications; Use of antiplatelet agents in the neurosurgical patient; Common conditions requiring long-term anti-coagulation in the neurosurgical patient; Reversal of systemic and antiplatelet anticoagulants; Intraoperative blood and factor replacement neurosurgery; Management of Intraoperative coagulopathy; Deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis in the neurosurgical patient; Postoperative anticoagulation after neurological surgery; Management of venous sinus thrombosis; Management of acute ischemic thrombosis; and Management of intracranial hemorrhage the anticoagulated patient.

The field of neurosurgery has seen a tremendous amount of growth and expansion in recent years, and this has led to the emergence of new and exciting areas of research. One such area is the field of coagulation and hematology in neurological surgery, which is the focus of this issue of Neurosurgery Clinics.

Edited by two distinguished experts in the field, Dr. Shahid Nimjee and Dr. Russell Lonser, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest findings and advances in the field of coagulation and hematology in neurological surgery. The book starts by discussing the biology of coagulation and its role in neurosurgery. It goes on to evaluate the coagulation status of neurosurgery patients and discusses the genetics of hyper- and hypo-coagulable states.

Anticoagulants like heparin and warfarin have gained much attention in recent years, and this book provides a detailed discussion of the pharmacokinetics, mechanisms of action, and indications for the use of these drugs. The book also discusses the use of antiplatelet agents in neurosurgery patients.

One of the most important aspects of the book is the discussion of common neurosurgical conditions that require long-term anticoagulation, such as atrial fibrillation, mechanical heart valves, and deep vein thrombosis. The book provides detailed guidance on the management of such conditions, including the correct dosage of anticoagulants and the management of complications.

Another important chapter in the book is on the management of intracranial hemorrhage in anticoagulated patients, a scenario that presents a major challenge to neurosurgeons. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the diagnostic and management strategies for this complex condition.

The book also discusses the important topic of deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis in neurosurgical patients and the postoperative management of anticoagulation therapy.

Overall, this book is an essential resource for neurosurgeons, hematologists, and other healthcare professionals interested in the field of coagulation and hematology in neurosurgery. It is an excellent reference guide that covers the latest developments in the field and provides practical guidance for managing coagulation and hematology-related issues in neurosurgery patients.
