Evidence-Based Neurosurgery provides examples of the use of critical analysis and methodologically rigorous evidence synthesis techniques in neurosurgery. This book is specifically designed to teach the neurosurgeon how to approach the questions and complications that arise in the daily practice. The first section of the text describes the basic concepts and techniques of evidence-based medicine as applied to neurosurgery. The second part provides examples of common clinical questions, for example, What is the likely course of the patient's disease? The text’s useful review of the methods of evidence-based medicine will offer you the opportunity to become as scientific in the practice of neurosurgery as in the fundamental knowledge that underlies it.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This unique book...provides an objective and systematic method for the assessment of evidence in relation to particular neurosurgical questions and will be of interest to practicing neurosurgeons and trainees...This is a well-presented, carefully edited and easily digested book...recommend[ed] that it should be read by all neurosurgery trainees and should be an important acquisition for neurosurgical libraries."--ANZ Journal of Surgery

"...A good buy, in particular for apprentice neurosurgeons who are eager to develop their school of thought. ...An excellent, easy to read, small book."--Doody's Book Review
