The book invites the reader to an exciting journey through the vast fields of neurosurgery, accompanied by a large panel of leading neurosurgeons.At a time when neurosurgery has a tendency to segment in many subspecialties, the goal was to regroup practical lessons from experienced neurosurgeons. In addition, the book represents an anthology of ninety worldwide recognized neurosurgeons, with the main features of their curriculum and contributions.The book has three volumes which cover the following items: Volume 1: Techniques and cranial approaches; Vascular lesions; Cranial traumas; CSF/infectious diseases - Volume 2: Intracranial tumors; Intraoperative explorations; Pediatrics; - Volume 3: Spine; Functional neurosurgery; Peripheral nerves; EducationThe authors deliver their critical views and give useful guidelines.
