Operative Techniques in Pediatric Neurosurgery

This atlas of pediatric neurosurgery describes and demonstrates the spectrum of operations to treat the major disorders, including congenital malformations, hydrocephalus, tumors, vascular and functional disorders, and trauma. The chapters present state of the art techniques and are written by nationally recognized authorities. The text serves as a companion to Principles and Practice of Pediatric Neurosurgery.
