This volume presents authoritative reviews of the most exciting topics in contemporary neurosurgery, featuring color plates, and annotated references to the leading articles in the field. In addition, it covers emerging technologies impacting OR reorganization and computer workstations, leading ultimately to the practice of neurosurgery at a molecular level.
