Comprehensive Neurosurgery Board Review 2nd Edition

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 organised3) 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

thank you very much the shipping and the product is very good, come to my country in good condition, I have no complaint about exposing

Just what I needed!

A must for nsg residents.

Description: This is a valuable and helpful resource that contains most of the fundamental information that a neurosurgery resident needs to know in order to pass the written boards. The book is written by specialists in a variety of disciplines, mainly neurosurgery, neurology, and pathology from the University of Chicago Medical Center.Purpose: The book is targeted to junior and senior neurosurgery residents, who typically have little time available to absorb the massive amount of literature pertaining to the neurosurgical science. The purpose is primarily to provide a comprehensive board review for neurosurgery residents. This is a worthy and important objective and the book largely meets it. The material can also be very helpful to academic neurosurgeons engaged in teaching activities, physicians from variable specialties, medical students, and other health care professionals attentive to the field of Neurosurgery.Audience: "Young Neurosurgeons preparing for the hurdles for professional examinations will find this to be a most valuable aid". The authors are credible authorities and have an exact understanding of what their audience wants and needs from this comprehensive review.Features: A wide variety of topics are concisely reviewed with a special focus to deliver take home messages. The sequence of chapters is defined in the preface and the book is divided into six chapters: Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology and Radiology, Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Critical Care. The index is very helpful and the book is supplemented by a considerable number of fine quality illustrations.Assessment: This is a valuable neurosurgery review book for the written boards. It has a dense amount of high yield information and represents an excellent resource for neurosurgery residents. "It is remarkable that the chief editor had the ability to write this book while still in residency", which makes it very useful to its intended audience. Readers are encouraged to supplement their readings with other in depth detailed sources.

This book is a great find for a nice review book of the main topics in neurosurg. Psarros review book is still our recommended bread n butter review book but this is a great supplement as it has extra information and figures to add to it.

Very complete and compact book. It includes both basic neurological sciences and neurosurgery. Ideal for board examination. It is written in a simple and complete way. Highly recommended.

I finally found myself in that book. I thought I was lost going through big texts of neurosurgery and I could not grasp all the information needed to pass my exam. Now that this amazing book is available I'm sure I will pass the exam . It provides a good frame for studying and contains all one needs to prepare for the neurosurgery exam. It saves time and a lot of effort . I envy younger neurosurgeons because this work is now available at their hands.. study will be much easier.

Packed with all you need for comprehensive neurosurgery revision. Very concise. A must buy for anyone sitting the FRCS exams.

Sehr gutes Buch. Umfangreich mit Informationen der Neurochirurgie. Man könnte es jedem empfehlen. Es hat mir persönlich sehr gut gefallen!
