Saleem Abdulrauf, MD, is a physician specializing in neurosurgery in St. Louis, Missouri, who has helped develop high-flow brain bypass surgery, a procedure for treating intracranial aneurysm, a less-invasive procedure than traditional methods. He is Chairman of the Department of Neurological Surgery at Saint Louis University School of Medicine and Director of the Center for Cerebrovascular and Skull Base Surgery at Saint Louis University Hospital in Saint Louis, Missouri. Abdulrauf has served on the boards of multiple neurosurgical societies, including the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) and the World Federation of Skull Base Societies (WFSBS). ==Biography== Abdulrauf attended a high school in Kansas City, Missouri, and received his bachelor of arts in biology in 1984 from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. He attended medical school at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, receiving his M.D. in 1991. He completed post-graduate training and a residency in neurosurgery at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan and subsequently completed a fellow in Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery at Yale University, where he was on faculty in the Department of Neurosurgery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://29spnc.admeus.net/uploads/29spnc/editor/CV%20Saleem%20Abdulurf.docx.pdf )〕 Abdulrauf completed a fellowship in Skull Base Neurosurgery at the University of Arkansas School of Medicine in Little Rock, Arkansas, training under M. Gazi Yasargil, who developed brain bypass surgery in the 1960s in Switzerland and is considered the father of modern neurosurgery. Abdulrauf has played a dominant role in the development and education of a new brain bypass technique, now known as the Abdulrauf bypass.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=St. Louis Innovators: The Brainiac, Dr. Saleem Abdulrauf )〕 One notable application of this technique occurred in 2010 when Abdulrauf performed the first high-flow bypass operation on a giant brain aneurysm in a blood vessel at the base of the skull of a 51-year-old woman named Claudia Letterman.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Women's aneurysm gets novel treatment )〕 This less-invasive technique, which requires a much smaller incision, promotes better blood flow and reduces recovery time, was a huge advancement in neurosurgery, as shown by its appearance as the graphic on the cover of the medical journal Neurosurgery in March 2010. In collaboration with Scanlan International, Abdulrauf also developed the neurosurgical instrument to accommodate the requirements of the Abdulrauf bypass technique.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Abdulrauf EC/IC Set )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saleem Abdulrauf」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
