This book presents neurosurgical anatomy by detailing approaches on cadavers in the same position patients would be placed in during a real operative procedure. Anatomy is described in:

Approach Types

all commonly used cranial and cranial base approaches

anterior, posterior, anterolateral and posterolateral approaches to all segments of the spine

all commonly performed procedures on peripheral nerves

endoscopic approaches to cranial and spinal neurosurgery

Stresses the understanding of the anatomy rather than the performance of the procedure.
