Synopsis

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.

Descriptions of techniques are thoroughly illustrated. Each section includes peer-reviewed guidelines and an authoritative critical commentary.
