Textbook of Neurological Surgery: Principles and Practices

Rating:
Summary: A word of caution
Review: I bought the book hoping that it would be a comprehensive resource for the certification examination.
It has no doubt certain very strong areas (e.g. spine, gliomas, neurological syndromes), but other fundamental subjects in a general textbook of neurological surgery are just briefly covered (e.g. the chapter on intracranial meningiomas has 9 pages)or not covered at all (e.g. craniosynostosis).
I believe there are currently much better options in the market if you are looking for a general textbook of neurological surgery.

Summary: Don't Like the book
Review: This was a great trail for the next edition.
this not a replacment of the Rengachary old textbook of neurosurgery
For there next edition I hope they will look at few things, like having an index on all volumes and not only volume 4???
More organization with chapters, talking only once about a subject then referring to the page number for reference
I have the book ,I stopped reading it the time i got my new youmans ........THE advice to all residents here in north America if you are looking for a textbook then you are better off with Youman's 5th edition hands down
