Neurosurgery

the long version

This compilation by a faculty of internationally recognized expert authors provides information on the basic knowledge and clinical management required for optimal care of neurosurgical patients. The text is an up-to-date synopsis of the field of neurosurgery from an international perspective which covers the most common clinical conditions encountered by neurosurgeons. The chapters are organized under broad topics including investigative studies, perioperative care, the role of newer techniques, management of tumors, vascular and traumatic lesions. Additional topics are then covered including pediatrics, spine and peripheral nerve lesions, as well as functional neurosurgery and infections. The volume should be a useful tool for neurosurgeons to consult for both basic and more sophisticated information and procedures.
