“Practical Handbook of Neurosurgery” invites readers to take part in a journey
through the vast fi eld of neurosurgery, in the company of internationally renowned
experts. At a time when the discipline is experiencing a (detrimental)
tendency to segment into various subfi elds and scatter in the process, it can be
worthwhile to collect a number of practical lessons gleaned from experienced
and leading neurosurgeons.
The book also aims to present numerous important fi gures in the neurosurgical
community, with a brief overview of the vitae and main contributions
for each. We must confess that we were sad that some of the most active
members were unable to participate, likely due to time constraints. We are
however fortunate that the majority were able to take part. As such, though
not exhaustive, the book does represent an anthology of contemporary
neurosurgeons.
At the very beginning of the project, our intention was to make a “pocketbook”.
But month after month it became obvious that the work would be
much more expansive; ultimately we produced three volumes. Nevertheless
we hope that all the three volumes together will remain easily accessible and
a daily companion. The pocket has to be more like a travel bag!
We would like to thank all of the contributors; they have sacrifi ced their
valuable time to deliver sound and critical views, and above all useful guidelines.
We would also like to ac knowledge the hard and rigorous edition work
of Mrs. Silvia Schilgerius at Springer-Verlag Vienna. Finally, we would like to
wish you the reader an exciting journey, one we hope you will both enjoy and
learn from
