About this title

Synopsis

This new edition in the "Operative Surgery Series" has been considerably revised to accommodate the changes which have taken place in the practice of neurosurgery in recent years. There have been advances in technology, such as the wider application of CT scanning, in surgical technique and in the design of new implantable materials. Of the chapters which have been retained from the previous edition, some have been updated but others have been completely rewritten by new contributors. The illustrations have all been redrawn by a small team of medical artists to ensure a high level of uniformity in presentation. This new edition has considerably broadened its authorship and contributions have been sought from 35 of the world's leading neurosurgeons.
