About this book

This book is a comprehensive illustrated surgical guide to operative exposures of the spinal nerves, also known as peripheral nerves. Each chapter is devoted to a particular nerve and describes the origin, anatomic relations, branches, surgical approaches, and clinical significance. The text is concise and easy to read and is complemented by informative color photos from cadaveric dissections and surgical procedures. A separate chapter on technical notes identifies surgical pearls relating to techniques such as nerve suturing and nerve transfers. Importantly, unlike other peripheral nerve atlases, this book is accompanied by videos of different approaches. The book will be especially valuable for residents and fellows in training and candidates for oral board and MOC examinations. It is also designed to provide a quick illustrated review for surgeons unfamiliar with a procedure. Most videos are less than 5 minutes long, and it should take less than 10 minutes to review each approach, including watching the video. Anatomy and Exposures of Spinal Nerves will effectively fill a gap caused by the absence of a peripheral nerve surgeon from many neurosurgery training programs.

Reviews

“This is a color text/atlas on the peripheral nerve surgery of axial, upper extremity and lower extremity. Detailed anatomical cadaver, and intraoperative images are numerous on almost every page. … Neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons in training will gain some useful information regarding the nuances of techniques presently utilized in, at times, a tedious dissection. The book overall is a mastery of technique used in trauma cases where there has been serious nerve damage.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, July, 2015)
