This third edition is a comprehensive guide to Neurosurgery. Divided into three volumes, the textbook has been fully updated and includes 100 additional chapters covering recent advances in anatomy, physiology and differential diagnosis. With contributions from authors in the UK, USA, Canada, Middle East and South East Asia, this new edition covers a wide range of topics including history and diagnosis, spinal injuries, peripheral nerve, cranial and intracranial tumours, and vascular disorders. Packed with more than 1800 colour diagrams, illustrations and radiological images, the treatment of various neurosurgical subspecialties such as epilepsy and cerebral palsy, is also discussed.

Since the publication of the second edition of this Textbook in 1996, phenomenal advances have been made towards
improved understanding of the pathophysiology of various neurosurgical disorders, their diagnosis and therapy.
Advances in molecular biology and genetics on one hand, the refinements of imaging technologies, introduction
of image-guided techniques for neuronavigation, and refinements in endoscopic and minimally invasive procedures
on the other hand have markedly reduced the morbidity and mortality of neurosurgery. Simultaneously,
better availability of radiosurgery and safer endovascular approaches have led to the development of non-surgical
therapy for a variety of lesions.
Recent years have witnessed a rapid increase in the number of well-equipped neurosurgical departments across
the country providing both state-of-the-art services to the patients and training to specialists in the diverse subdisciplines
of neurosurgery. It has been our endeavour to meet their needs for an updated account of the current
knowledge of the subject.
The third edition of the textbook includes a comprehensive account of all the recent advances succinctly provided
by a galaxy of outstanding contributors especially selected on the basis of their expertise and experience.
Care has been taken to include relevant published literature both from India and abroad.
As in earlier editions, special attention has been given to tropical disorders not often adequately covered in
publications of the West. This may be an additional attraction for neurosurgeons in other developing countries as
also to those in the developed ones who often encounter such conditions in their practice.
The present editors deeply miss the invaluable, wise and experienced guidance of the Senior Editor Prof B
Ramamurthi who was the moving spirit behind the earlier editions. The editors would like to thank all the contributors,
their associates and the secretarial staff for their co-operation. The Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers
(P) Ltd, New Delhi, India deserve our special thanks for the excellent quality of the publication.
