This thoroughly revised and expanded atlas is the ideal reference to review surgical procedures before entering the OR. The authors provide step-by-step descriptions of techniques, clearly delineating indications and contraindications, goals, operative preparation and anesthesia, and postoperative management. The main focus of this two-volume work is on teaching neurosurgical techniques at the most detailed level.
