Reviews
“Advanced and is written with surgeons in mind. It is a well‐done resource for neurosurgeons who aim to add this treatment modality to their practice. It would also be valuable for residents and medical students. … This well-written book offers a concise guide to the use of deep brain stimulation in patients with Parkinson's disease. It covers important topics such as pathology, indications, and surgical technique, and discusses the various deep brain targets and their respective likelihood of recovery.” (Zayed Amer Almadidy, Doody's Book Reviews, June 21, 2019)
