Neurosurgery review books at their best
This is a perfect example of works that matured over the years into a kind of a legend. It's an excellent review source for board exams and the FRCS(SN). Personally, I think it's a must have for neurosurgical residents and registrars. Having said that, I must say, this book is NOT "neurosurgery for dummies". It is only a review book designed to draw your attention to important points and emphasize its significance. It's not designed to cover all and everything you need to know!. PROS: 1) It is much more refined than the previous edition. 2) It is much more organised 3) Appears to Include Citow's other books under one cover. I don't recommend buying them if you buy this one. i.e. a) "Neuoradiology and neuropathology :a review" --> LINK : Neuropathology and Neuroradiology: A Review b) "Neuroanatomy and neuropysiology :A review" --> LINK :Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology: A Review CONS: 1) All in American units ... Any edition for the European market? 2) Errors in the book i.e some "RIGHT side" miraculously became "LEFT side" in the book. If you are considering something to cover the whole curriculum to go along with the comprehensive neurosurgery board review then consider the following new release....--> LINK The Neurosurgeon's Handbook The neurosurgeons hand book promises to be a very refined handbook for neurosurgeons pretty similar to the Oxford hand book series and perhaps a European contender to the legendary Greenberg Handbook of neurosurgery --> Handbook of Neurosurgery
