Oxford Textbook of Neurological Surgery

Oxford Textbook of Neurological Surgery

Edited by Ramez Kirollos, Adel Helmy, Simon Thomson, and Peter Hutchinson

Abstract

Neurosurgery is a rapidly developing and technically demanding branch of surgery that requires a detailed knowledge of the basic sciences and a thorough clinical approach. The Oxford Textbook of Neurological Surgery is an up-to-date, objective, and readable text that covers the full scope of neurosurgical practice. Each section takes a dual approach with ‘generic surgical management’ chapters that focus on specific clinical problems facing the neurosurgeon (e.g. sellar/suprasellar tumour, intradural spina tumours, and others) and ‘pathology-specific’ chapters (e.g. glioma, meningeal tumours, scoliosis and spinal deformity, aneurysm, and others). Where appropriate, this division provides the reader with easily accessible information for both clinical problems which present in a regional fashion and specific pathologies. The generic chapters cover aspects such as operative approaches, neuroanatomy, and nuances.
