Publisher's Synopsis
The practice of neurosurgery is being redefined by new advances in the treatment of disease. New equipment, new surgical techniques and new understanding of the biological origin of disease make the current practice of neurosurgery an evolutionary art. Amidst this change, one thing remains the same - the all new and expanded edition of Neurosurgery presents encyclopedic coverage of pathophysiology, diagnosis and surgical management of all disorders in up-to-minute detail. 450 chapters encompass the entire field - and since each focuses on a specific topic in a concise format, the reader can review a subject thoroughly and quickly, ie. management of intracranial aneurysms is divided into 25 chapters - each on a specific aspect of the disease. This format makes Neurosurgery unique in the field and widely popular with practitioners.
