Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This is a clear, incisive introduction to neurosurgery. It is designed for the medical student learning about neurosurgery, the neurological or surgical resident who is rotating on neurosurgery, the practicing neurologist, internist or general surgeon who wants a succinct introduction to neurosurgery, and the neurosurgical trainee in his or her early years. The book's emphasis is on the diagnosis and management of common neurosurgical disorders. It covers in a concise, practical fashion the emergency, elective, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that neurosurgeons use. The text is divided into four sections. The very first section deals with neurosurgical diagnosis and includes chapters on radiographic and physiological diagnostic modalities. The subsequent section focuses on management decisions including a detailed discusion of neurosurgical emergencies. The third part describes common neurosurgical disorders such as trauma, tumors, cerebrovascular diseases, infections, CSF abnormalities and degenerative spinal disorders. The last section summarizes several special topics in neurosurgery, including pediatric neurosurgery and stereotactic and functional neurosurgery.

This book is ideal for both neurosurgery pros and amateurs. The amateurs will find it well written and understandable, even in a pinch. Thanks Dr. Black and Dr. Rossitch!

This hard or softcover book by Black & Rossitch is perfect for the 3rd year medical student rotating on neurosurgery. It is suitable for a pocket reference. The text focuses carefully on neurosurgical management. It does not have many colour or grey and white illustrations. You really would have liked to see more CTs and MRIs in the book. Much of clinical neurosurgery involves fast and accurate radiological diagnosis. The book will not teach you any of that. It is succinct with an easy reading style. Kempe's Operative Neurosurgery or Fundamental Techniques in Operative Neurosurgery Thieme should also be used in the very first neurosurgery rotation and more advanced books read as experience on the wards and in the OR is obtained. Peter Black could serve a larger audience by writing a succinct Operative Neurosurgery volume for the medical student. He did author Operative Neurosurgery, a large 2 Volume Set which unfortunately has gone out of print. Good luck with it all.
Rated by buyers -
This text is essentially the essentials of modern neurosurgery. It is superb for medical students who are doing a neurosurgery elective or sub-internship who want a quick overview of nearly all aspects of neurosurgical care. It is well organized and the explanations are very succint with a solid balance between practical and theoretical. It is definitely readable overnight for preparation the day before the rotation or examination.
