This review is from: Operative Techniques in Pediatric Neurosurgery (Hardcover)

Following the edition of the Pediatric Neurosurgery textbook Albright et al have come with a very practical atlas with lots of pictures and drawings guiding you to the major pediatric neurosurgical procedures. Attention has been paid to important subjects as pre and postoperative issues, which major textbooks often lack. The editor's comments and advice at the end of each chapter gives you insight at the already travelled path to surgical success.
Great for residents and fellows.

This review is from: Operative Techniques in Pediatric Neurosurgery (Hardcover)

Very good in quality throughout with full color illustrations and line drawings. Pearls of wisdom and suggestions are made throughout and in summaries at the end of the chapters. Craniosynostosis/Craniostenosis is well covered. A little better than some of the other pediatric neurosurgery atlases. As a peds neurosurgeon, you're going to want them all.
