Reviews

The editors and contributors should be highly commended for this very valuable contribution in the literature of spinal pathology and its surgical treatment. The format of the book and also the content completely justify the designation as handbook. In a very concise way, the most relevant but also recently updated information is given about a very large amount of subjects. -- Acta Neurochirurgica With the breadth of readily available information and board-friendly questions, this is a great reference for those looking to quickly brush up on spine surgery topics, whether before a case, during a rotation or as part of comprehensive board preparation. -- YNC Newsletter (Young Neurosurgeons News)
