About this book
No other book covers as extensively all aspects of peripheral nerve surgery. This includes the pathology and pathophysiology of compression neuropathies, traumatic nerve lesions and nerve tumours, and their treatment with various techniques. All body regions are described adequately. The second part of the book deals with palliative surgery for reconstruction of lost function. This includes a comprehensive array of muscle and tendon transfers, functional muscle transplantation and intramuscular neurotisation.
Reviews
From the reviews:
"This dual-author book stretches to 190 A4 size pages and contains 359 high quality illustrations and operative photographs. It covers all the relevant surgical issues concerning peripheral nerve surgery. … a valuable text for many orthopaedic, reconstructive plastic and neurological surgeons. … The index … has been extremely well done and therefore the high quality contained within the text is also accessible. The book would be a valuable addition to all departmental libraries and … will be kept close at hand by many practising surgeons." (P. J. Hamlyn, Acta Neurochirurgica, Vol. 147 (8), 2005)
