Summary

Neurosurgical patients often require care in the neurocritical care unit, and neurocritical care patients often need neurosurgical procedures. A multidisciplinary approach is beneficial for care of these patients. The neurointensivist must have a basic understanding of the indications, operative procedures, and complications of neurosurgical procedures. These include open craniotomies, transsphenoidal skull base surgery, bedside intracranial pressure monitoring, and an ever-expanding array of endovascular procedures. This chapter serves as an introduction to neurosurgical procedures that may be seen by a neurointensivist and a primer for postoperative expectations and management. Disease-specific considerations are included for neurovascular pathologies, operative trauma management, and metastatic tumors.
