Core Techniques in Operative Neurosurgery

Doody's Core Titles® 2022"This book is high quality and high yield, particularly for medical students on their neurosurgery rotations and both junior and senior neurosurgery residents as they not only prepare for cases but continue to master and fine tune their techniques." --Nauman Chaudhry, MD (University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine) Doody's Review Service
