Atlas of Operative Microneurosurgery, Volume 1: Aneurysms and Arteriovenous Malformations

Summary: Operative Microneurosurgery Color Atlas
Review: This textbook should have a second edition. It is one of the very best books available on operative technique for intracranial aneurysms and AVMs. It highlights patient & head positioning, scalp flap design, step by step technique for anterior, middle, and posterior lesions, with beautiful artistic rendering of complex anatomy with landmarks. The layer by layer exposure is diagramed well. All the diagrams have succinct captions, which clarify major points and junctures of the operative plans. The section on aneuryms I think is better than the AVM part of the book. Bravo! We need more atlases like this, pushing us further ahead in the minimally invasive realm of modern neurosurgery.
