This three-volume work provides a comprehensive and balanced view of the principles of diagnosis and management in the practice of neurosurgery. Surgical techniques are presented objectively as treatment options and include both the pros and cons for each option. In depth chapters cover decision making and operative techniques. State-of-the-art surgical techniques are fully-detailed with line drawings and precise descriptions of the various procedures. Complete sections are included on central nervous system physiology, diagnostic procedures and methodology, tumor, trauma, vascular disorders, spinal disorders, and much more. The content is also available on CD-ROM. Five Star Rating / "Outstanding" - Mayo Clinic Proceedings, October 1997.
