Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Thieme is delighted to announce publication of the definitive guide for neurosurgical residents: Handbook of Neurosurgery, 5th Edition. Now back in one convenient volume, this book remains the most comprehensive guide to neurosurgery available today. The book is packed with nearly 1,000 pages of 'nuts and bolts' information and guidelines spanning the breadth of neurosurgery-in a pocket-sized format that allows quick acess to the answers you need. As in the previous bestselling editions, the book contains thousands of literature citations, a thorough index, and helpful cross-references for ease of use. The surgical material has been removed from this edition to facilitate its use with Fundamentals of Operative Neurosurgery by Connolly et al.

The book is extremely exhaustive in its coverage of Neurosurgical topics, but is too dense for the medical student getting his/her very first intro to Neurosurgery. Definitely a SUPERIOR reference and likely a must have for residency, but not the perfect companion for 3rd year rotations. Would recommend another introductory text.

I was told this book was the "bible" of Neurosurgery. I agree completely. It has almost everything you need for the day-to-day work. It lacks some explanations and details, but given its size I think it's acceptable. A great book.
Rated by buyers -
It is indispensable for every neurosurgeon. Provides quick and essential information about virtually all matter. Despite it is a handbook it carry even more information than some text books. I wish a PDA version so I will could carry away in my pocket.

I bought this book before my neurosurgery rotation and I was floored at how terrific it was. Not only is there just about anything you might ever need to know about NS in it, but everything the author says it supported by research. Each chapter has an exhaustive listing of the citations. Awesome!
I knew something about NS and felt prepared from Hal Blumenfeld's "Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases," but having this small book in my pocket made all the difference. I carried it everywhere and even brought it into surgeries, and was able to quickly flip through to look up things. I learned a huge amount in a short period of time. I can easily see how this book could carry you from third year through early residency, when you graduate to other NS Thieme books.
Rated by buyers -
very good and very thorough, with much information on most popular topics of neurosurgery; however, some of the statistical data as percentages of symptoms, outcome and complication rates lack reference. are these data from a single paper or from a compilation done by the author?
