Principles of Microneurosurgery; James Ausman, MD, PhD

SUMMARY: In an interview with Dr. Richard Byrne, Dr. Ausman reviews the principles of micro-neurosurgery, and implementing Operations Analysis theories to the performance of surgery with the goal to reducing the probability of error to zero. Dr. Ausman describes all the components of achieving excellent results from preplanning of the operation, research on each case, operating room organization and personnel management, breaking the surgery in to packages or steps, each to be error free. An understanding of the family and patient is crucial. The final stage of the surgery is the part with different possible outcomes once the pathology is encountered. Planning for each of those possibilities must be made in preoperative planning.The risks are taken by the patient not the surgeon. If an unexpected difficult problem is encountered in the surgery that would effect and change the outcome for the patient which was not discussed with the patient before surgery, this must be discussed with the family or the operation stopped so that the patient can make that personal choice for his/her life. It is not the doctors to decide another's life. Mathematically, the complications are a summation of the errors of each step. To achieve success one must reduce the errors to zero mathematically for each case. Blood loss and transfusion are complications. Meticulous hemostasis must be achieved at each step. Complications for the patient can be life changing. A third nerve deficit for a neurosurgeon undergoing surgery is career changing. Think about any deficit for the patient. Even a urinary infection is a complication that will require treatment with its own complications. Every detail must be perfectly executed for the patent to have a good result. Surgery is a team effort. So the team must know of all the details of the procedure to participate 100%. A plan of the operation is posted on the wall before each operation and given to the member of the team so that they know the steps and can prepare for them. Proper performance of surgery is an Artistic achievement and unblemished beauty for a result. There is only one chance for a perfect result. The patent has entrusted his/her life to you. No mistakes. The goal is Excellence. Good For Video and Podcast (JIA) 26 minutes
