We applaud the authors' goal of describing relevant microsurgical anatomy and technique of standard surgical approaches by using anatomical specimens oriented in the operative position and dissected using standard surgical approaches. . . . Young neurosurgeons and residents in training will find this book to be a good introduction to all cranial, spine, peripheral nerve, and neuroendoscopic techniques. --Journal of Neurosurgery<p><p>. ..the book is quite a useful tool for introducing neurosurgeons in training to an understanding of the three-dimensional surgical anatomy and of how to select the most suitable surgical approach. ...practicing neurosurgeons will find it useful as a quick refrence source from which to refresh their knowledge of surgical anatomical relationships... --Child's Nervous System, 9-10/2002
