"This book achieves its goal of educating students and trainees about almost every topic in neurosurgery. It is comprehensive, yet to the point and brief enough to contain everything in one volume. This book provides a superb level of detail in its explanation of each topic, including a clear and efficient discussion of background and clinical relevance as well as scenarios." Morteza Sadeh, MD PhD (University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine) Doody's Score: 93-4 Stars!
Perfect for anyone considering or training in this challenging specialty, Principles of Neurological Surgery, 4th Edition, by Drs. Richard G. Ellenbogen, Laligam N. Sekhar, and Neil Kitchen, provides a clear, superbly illustrated introduction to all aspects of neurosurgery–from general principles to specific techniques. Thorough updates from leading authors ensure that you’ll stay abreast of the latest advances in every area of neurosurgery, including pre- and post-operative patient care, neuroradiology, pediatric neurosurgery, neurovascular surgery, trauma surgery, spine surgery, oncology, pituitary adenomas, cranial base neurosurgery, image-guided neurosurgery, treatment of pain, epilepsy surgery, and much more.
