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

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.

This book provides an insightful reference to a range of relevant orthopaedic and neurological surgical techniques for the spine. It features detailed insight into how to approach treating patients exhibiting a wide range of symptoms of a particular disorder, from anatomy to biomechanics and pathology. Detailed explanations of the validity of a chosen treatment methodology are provided as are multiple choice questions to enable the reader to systematically develop a deep understanding of the content covered.

MCQs in Spine Surgery details a range of the latest knowledge in spinal surgery and techniques, making it a valuable resource for all medical professionals who treat these patients. The inclusion of multiple choice questions make the work of particular use to those preparing for board examinations too.
