Now in its second edition and featuring a brand-new layout, Atlas of Peripheral Nerve Surgery continues to be the surgical atlas dedicated to the field of peripheral nerves. This neurosurgery reference presents surgical steps laid out step by step in a highly readable and accessible format, making it an ideal resource for trainees and busy surgeons alike.

Gain a well-rounded understanding of today's latest knowledge concerning the various types of nerve lesions and their management.
Grasp exactly how to proceed through brand-new cadaver dissection photos, full-color illustrations with step-by-step operation notes, and self-explanatory bullet points.
Apply the newest advances in nerve transfer surgery with a full section that discusses the transfer of the radial to axillary nerve, the median and ulnar nerve to the musculocutaneous nerve, the femoral branch to the obturator nerve, and more.

The first edition of this atlas was presented as a companion
to Kline and Hudson’s Nerve Injuries: Operative Results of Major
Injuries, Entrapments, and Tumors. We based that book primarily
on the results of peripheral nerve surgery that had been
performed at Louisiana State University in New Orleans. We
received comments and critiques from a wide variety of practitioners
and students, and many of their suggestions have been
incorporated into the second edition, which has been extensively
rewritten and reformatted. Daniel H. Kim will guide
subsequent editions of this atlas.
We have tried to give the reader our personal approaches
to peripheral nerve operations. Minimal access surgery is
described along with traditional open and, at times, extensive
exposures. Both clinical diagnosis and surgical practice depend
on a mastery of anatomy, and we describe those elements that
have key clinical and surgical relevance. We have not described
alternative operations with which we have no experience. The
text has been kept as sparse as possible, and there is no bibliography.
The second edition of Nerve Injuries, now translated into
Spanish and Chinese, should be consulted for a fuller discussion
of individual topics.
We remain indebted to our patients, our trainees, and our
students. We have greatly enjoyed the friendship of many international
and local colleagues who, in a variety of surgical and
medical disciplines, share a special interest in peripheral nerve
disorders. Their thoughts are frequently incorporated into our
writing and illustrations. A special thank you is extended to
our families for their support and good humor over many
years. Our editors and publisher have endeavored to produce
a thoroughly modern work, and we acknowledge their effort
with gratitude. And finally, many special thanks to our medical
illustrators, Yea Sang Won and Jung MiJin, and to Drs. Cho
DoSang, Kim IlSup, Lee SangKook, and other individuals for
their time, interest, and energy.
