About the Book

Written by experts at the forefront of neurosurgery, this four-volume work is the most comprehensive and current reference in the field. Coverage includes basic science for board exams, diagnostic modalities, and contemporary surgical techniques and clinical guidelines in all areas of neurosurgery - pediatric neurosurgery, neuro-oncology, spinal disorders, peripheral nerves, cerebrovascular disorders, stereotaxic and functional neurosurgery, cranial and cerebral trauma, pain syndromes and chronic pain, critical care, neurosurgical infections, and neurosurgical emergencies. More than 3,000 illustrations complement the text. Sections on techniques follow a consistent structure - basic principles, anesthetic concerns, surgical decision making, perioperative and nonoperative management, surgical techniques (including minimally invasive), and complications and their management. Descriptions of techniques are thoroughly illustrated. Each section includes peer-reviewed guidelines and an authoritative critical commentary

Review :
Journal of Neurosurgery, Volume 101 -- "A superb cast of section editors and more than 550 authors eminently involved in neurosurgical care and research. A wonderful resource for the neurosurgical community. The textbook would be a welcome addition to the library of any practicing or resident neurosurgeon and will likely be of enduring value to future generations." Journal of Neurosurgery
