NEUROSURGERY
This site is directed mainly to the medical audience and neurosurgeons, 
partially aimed to present the operative and academic activities of Prof. Munir 
A. Elias Shawash over 30 years period. Here the neurosurgeon can find the 
standards and new modifications in the treatment strategies in paraplegia, brain 
tumor, spinal cord injuries, head injury, pain management strategies, including 
neuralgia of different etiologies, movement disorders. Neurosurgeon needs a very 
long way to understand that, experience is important in this field of medicine - 
neurosurgery. 
Stroke and ruptured arterial aneurysms remain in the upper list of difficult 
problems, which are far from perfection and the mortality rate remains high. 
Spinal surgery is extensive and take 80% of the neurosurgical activities: 
prolapsed disc , lumbar, cervical and dorsal are the top ranking in practice 
followed by other degenerative spine problems, such as spondylolisthesis, OPLL 
with cervical and lumbar canal stenosis. 
Neurosurgery has time-sensitive decision-making strategies. This is governed by 
the rapidly changing status of the patient. Neurosurgeon must react accordingly 
to the recent moment. He must be able to predict, or at least to keep in mind 
the possible complications, and react with caution to prevent them, before they 
escalate. Intraoperative video documentation made it possible to analyze and 
retrospectively discover some causes of complications, which the neurosurgeon 
previously blamed himself for that. It became clear, that some triggering 
factors for complications are presenting before their eminence. 
Here come the power of intraoperative monitoring using IOM ISIS HighLine 32 
channel with all available parameters, which can alarm the functional shifts 
before they become real disaster and to take the appropriate measures before 
they become irreversible. 
Neuroanesthesia is the cornerstone in proper navigation of such monitoring to 
make it feasible and to guide the patient with safe margins until he pass the 
surgical storm. It starts from the preoperative period until the patient is no 
more complaining, whatsoever it needs time. 
Intraoperative morphological navigation using BrainLab skyvision with the MRI 
with the most high standards available with all softwares more empower the 
surgeon to know and see all the data and take the proper action and know at 
which stage he is standing. 
Pentero-C is not only a microscope, it give the neurosurgeon the power to see, 
what he could not see before with the appropriate softwares. 
Not all new standards in neurosurgery can stand time. Only the good for the 
patient's outcome will stand and remain even, if they are too old. 
The last years 
at Shmaisani hospital functional neurophysiologic navigation ISIS Inomed 
Highline 32 channels and  BrainLab Suite integrated with Siemens Skyra 3 tesla 
fMRI with fibertraking (DTI) and all clinical applications for intraoperative monitoring are in practice. 
It is very sad to say that, very huge medical corporations can misinform the 
neurosurgeon about the new products without telling that these items having 
disadvantages, but in the contrary, reporting that no morbidity or complications 
can arise, until the neurosurgeon discover them in his personal experience. 
Profit-oriented corporations must respect the ethics and tell the true story 
about any product, so as, at least to be ready to inform the patient and to try 
to resolve these possible complications. 
With the introduction of new technologies, new dimensions arise and new problems 
also. When you have more data, you have more information to deal with and your 
tactics and options also may expand further, but despite that, complications 
will remain and they will need solutions. At last we are human beings and the 
more effort you do, the more spirit comfort you will feel when your life come to 
end.
