| Maniker Operative Exposures in Peripheral Nerve Surgery Reviews"An essential practical book for both the frequent and the infrequent peripheral nerve surgeon. Ideal of all residents and surgeons who perform surgery on peripheral nerves, this operative guide effectively: 1) reviews nerve anatomy and relevant surrounding vascular and bone anatomy; 2) considers the issues pertinent to the planning of a successful operation; and 3) details the operations with vivid color photographs of cadaveric dissections. The efficient and logical organization of the book and its chapters eases the reader into the complexities of peripheral nerve surgery. Using concise text supplemented with illustrative photographs, each chapter begins with a narrative of the basic nerve anatomy followed by a description of the surgery. ..The color photographs of the cadavers illustrating the nerve in situ aid the reader's visual orientation. The "pearls" regarding anatomical pitfalls are particularly forthcoming within the text and the figure legends. The prose is concise and in the style of a detailed operative note. To the delight of the novice surgeon, Dr. Maniker transforms confounding surgical procedures into understandable ones; to intrigue the experienced surgeon, he presents ample nuances. This book will be used in venues varying from the office to the operating room, and it is most certainly worth its asking price." --Journal of Neurosurgery ''This is an excellent book that should be kept in orthopedic, surgical, and neurosurgical libraries.'' -- Doody's Book Review "...This is an excellent text with superb anatomical dissections. The level of detail certainly goes beyond that found in standard neurosurgical text books; therefore this would be a useful addition to a department library or, alternatively a very useful adjunct to the reference knowledge base of anyone devoting time to surgery of the peripheral nerves. This text would be useful for trainees who would certainly benefit from the detailed description of the more common exposures of the peripheral nerves as well as giving information on the more complex nerves and the skills required for exposure. ..would appeal to orthopaedic and reconstructive surgeons and indeed to general surgeons."--Acta Neurochirugica |
