Handbook of Neurosurgery

by Mark S. Greenberg

An outstanding backpack reference for day-to-day neurosurgical practice Now in an updated eighth edition, the Handbook of Neurosurgery has enjoyed legendary status on the bookshelf of every neurosurgery department for over a quarter of a century. Renowned for its scope and accessibility, the portable, single-volume guide is an invaluable resource for anyone involved in the care of patients with disorders of the central nervous system – neurosurgical residents, nurses, neurologists, and allied healthcare practitioners. This classic handbook covers the full depth and breadth of the complex field of neurosurgery – including inherited and acquired neurological disorders, developmental anomalies, and more esoteric topics such as toxins that impact the central nervous system. The text also covers conditions treated primarily by neurologists that may come to the attention of a neurosurgical care provider such as Parkinsonism, multiple sclerosis, motor neuron diseases, and dementia. The latest information is provided on anatomy and physiology, differential diagnosis, and current principles of nonsurgical and surgical management covering the full age continuum – from pediatric to geriatric conditions. Key Comprehensive and conveniently compact, this is a must-have daily reference, a perfect study companion for board exams, as well as ideal for maintenance of certification preparation. It is certain to be a treasured tome for legions of new neurosurgery residents and an essential tool for anyone working in the clinical neurosciences.

A bit dry at the start, but really picks up towards the end

I couldn't recommend this book more. I echo most of the comments written by fellow Goodreaders that this is indeed the Bible of Neurosurgery. It is a portable and concise reference book that has helped me through my neurosurgery registrar.

I would recommend this book to all neurosurgery registrars/residents/interns.

P.S.: I was told by a colleague that this book is available in e-book version. I would definitely recommend getting it on your phone or tablet if you are thinking of purchasing this book.
