Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa has edited several books including Schmidek and Sweet: Operative Neurosurgical Techniques, Controversies in Neuro-Oncology: Best Evidence Medicine for Brain Tumor Surgery, and Video Atlas of Neurosurgery: Contemporary Tumor and Skull Base Surgery, and Neural Stem Cells (An Issue of Neurosurgery Clinics). He has clinical expertise in Neuro-Oncology, tumor surgery, and is a world authority on these aspects of Neuro-Oncology.

"This book provides a comprehensive reference for almost all surgical procedures in neurosurgery with abundant information on their backgrounds, relative landmark articles, clinical trials, indications, complications, and prognosis. It has terrific surgical and graphical demonstrations with relevant anatomy and description. It accompanies an interactive web version with high-resolution images." -©Doody’s Review Service, 2023, Morteza Sadeh, MD PhD(University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine) Doody's Score: 5 Stars!
