5.0 out of 5 stars A fundamental text-book, April 6, 2000

By	Karl-Fredrik Lindegaard "L-gard" (Oslo, Norway) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Microneurosurgery (CNS Tumors : Surgical Anatomy, Neuropathology, Neuroradiology, Neurophysiology, Clinical Considerations, Operability, Treatment Options (Microneurosu)) (Hardcover)

MG Yasargil is the father of miconeurosurgery and, in my opinion still one of the leading sources from whom to learn, not just "the tricks", but equally, "the trade" itself. His trans-sulcus approach to intra-parenchymatous tumors provides for good exposure with less surgical trauma. Dr. Yasargils experience and his passion for the field comes through in his writing. Though this may not be the first book a young and aspiring neurosurgeon should aquire, the book is a must for the libraries of neurosurgical groups and hospital departments. Having worked in this field for more than 20 years, I still consult this book, because of its illustrations and the transparent description of preparing for surgery, of the notes on complication avoidance and, equally importantly, on complication management.
