This is the third edition of a compact introduction to neurosurgery
that has become established since 2004 as the indispensable vade mecum
for neurosurgical trainees, providing the perfect guide to the
practicalities of the treatment and day-to-day management of
neurosurgical patients. The neurosurgical trainee is taken step-by-step
through the procedures of patient admission, carrying out an
examination and obtaining a medical history, ensuring appropriate ward
management, and coping with the techniques of neurosurgical
investigation and monitoring. The interpretation of CT head scans, the
conduct of basic neurosurgical procedures, the principles of
neuropathology, neuro-intensive care, hydrocephalus and shunt systems,
and the use of commonly used scoring systems, are all carefully
explained in this thorough examination of situations facing the
neurosurgical trainee, and of the ways in which potential problems may
be dealt with or avoided.
