The fundamental, one-stop global resource for neurosurgical practice
in updated 10th edition
Unlike traditional medical textbooks, the origins of the now legendary
Handbook of Neurosurgery by Mark Greenberg took root in the late 1980's
in the notes the author kept while taking care of his patients, from his
weekly grand rounds presentations, and in the literature he read. Now in
its 10th edition, the book that is often referred to as the
"bible for neurosurgeons" has grown organically over the years to
include more topics of importance to those who provide healthcare to
patients with neurologic ailments, and to reflect advances in the
understanding and management of the underlying conditions and diseases.
Throughout 23 sections and 116 chapters, the generously illustrated text
covers information ranging from pediatrics to geriatrics. The
comprehensive, conveniently compact book provides detailed, high-value,
and actionable information that can be quickly accessed to enhance
patient management, thereby eliminating the need to wade through
superfluous material. It is also a perfect study companion for board
examination and preparation for the maintenance of certification.
