Description: The first of the four volumes introduces approaches to the patient, radiology fundamentals, perioperative evaluation and treatment, and surgical exposures and positioning; and it covers oncology. The second volume covers vascular disease and malformations, and epilepsy; the third, functional neurosurgery, pain, and pediatric issues; and the fourth, the peripheral nerve, radiation therapy and radiosurgery, the spine, and trauma. Basic science, in most cases, is represented in its own chapter in each section, so as to make the rest of the section chapters more clinical in focus.
