Neurosurgery Rounds: Questions and Answers

An essential companion for neurosurgical rounds and exam preparation

Neurosurgery Rounds: Questions and Answers, Third Edition by Mark Shaya, Cristian Gragnaniello, and Remi Nader reflects major advances in neurosurgery and neurological diseases since the publication of the prior edition. The reader-friendly book features contributions from renowned experts and covers major neurosurgical areas pertinent to neurosurgical residents, such as surgical anatomy, pathophysiology, and surgical techniques.

This book is specifically designed to help prepare for both the written and oral board examinations. The oral board examination involves interaction with examiners; therefore, passing the exam is heavily dependent on the ability to communicate succinctly and precisely what to do in specific clinical situations. Organized in nine sections, this case-based book provides diverse coverage of multiple disciplines involved in the knowledge, care, and treatment of neurosurgical patients, including new topics, such as COVID-19.

Key Highlights

• Encompasses innovative technologies, such as robotics, spinal navigation, gene therapy, endoscopy, and brain–computer interfaces
• More than 1,600 questions and answers, including brief case studies, test readers and provide a quick reference for neurosurgical rounds
• High-quality illustrations and radiographs enhance understanding of underlying pathologies and anatomy

The book provides an excellent study prep for the written and oral neurosurgical boards. And for early-career neurosurgeons, this reference reinforces prevention of neurosurgical pitfalls and complications, while enhancing problem solving in difficult cases.
