The fundamental one-stop global resource for neurosurgical practice in updated 10th edition
Unlike traditional medical textbooks the origins of the now legendary Handbook of Neurosurgery
by Mark Greenberg took root in the late 1980’s in the notes the author kept while taking care
of his patients from his weekly grand rounds presentations and in the literature he read. Now
in its 10th edition the book that is often referred to as the "bible for neurosurgeons" has
grown organically over the years to include more topics of importance to those who provide
healthcare to patients with neurologic ailments and to reflect advances in the understanding
and management of the underlying conditions and diseases. Throughout 23 sections and 116
chapters the generously illustrated text covers information ranging from pediatrics to
geriatrics. The comprehensive conveniently compact book provides detailed high-value and
actionable information that can be quickly accessed to enhance patient management thereby
