Review:

"An outstanding addition to the literature on spine and peripheral nerve surgery. The chapters are written by many of today's leaders in these two fields. This textbook will prove useful to residents, fellows, and practicing neurosurgeons who wish to learn or review state-of-the-art spine and peripheral nerve surgical techniques. It is an excellent review resource for those planning on taking the oral board exams in neurosurgery."--Journal of Neurosurgery

"A nicely presented publication that to the Plastic Surgeon best serves as an atlas of peripheral nerve surgery backed up by...concise operative descriptions...a good adjunct to a Plastic Surgeon's library and an even better one to the ASPS library."--Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons

"Represents a well needed source of reference of spinal and peripheral nerves.. A superb book worthy of neurosurgical and orthopaedic surgery libraries."--Doody's Book Reviews
