NEUROSURGICAL REVIEW
Edited by Christopher D. Sturm, M.D., Thomas R. Forget, M.D.
1998. Paperback, 323 pages
ISBN 1-57626-115-8
Neurosurgical Review is a true study guide based on real-life board exam experiences. It helps
you focus on the subjects and concepts that are important for passing the exams, rather than
just being a simple question-and-answer book. It is organized in the same way as the exam
itself, so that you will be comfortable at test time. The two greatest strengths of the book are its
outline form and its index. The outline form allows you to gauge your progress through the
review without getting lost in the confusing details that make so many texts inefficient for
reviewing. The index is very detailed, allowing you to quickly find the material you seek.

ANTERIOR APPROACHES TO THE SPINE
Edited by Thomas A. Zdeblick, M.D.
1998. Hardcover, 400 pages, 300 illustrations
ISBN 1-57626-001-1
This comprehensive, useful reference provides essential clinical information for planning and
performing the full spectrum of anterior spine surgeries. Here, in one convenient volume,
you’ll receive expert, step-by-step guidance in both open and endoscopic procedures, as well
as instruction in relevant anatomy, instrumentation, and underlying principles.
The book is divided into three general sections and covers a host of common and rare cervical,
thoracic, and lumbar diseases requiring anterior access. Individual chapters within each section
bring you straight into the operating room with detailed descriptions of specific surgical techniques as they are performed
by today’s leading authorities.
Together with Dr. Zdeblick and other widely recognized surgeons such as Drs. Paul Anderson and John Regan, you’ll
examine specific cases, review pertinent indications, weigh treatment options, select the appropriate approaches, and deal
with any complications that arise during the course of surgery. Along the way, you’ll not only garner concrete technical
knowledge that applies directly to your daily practice, but also pick up valuable tips that will help you optimize outcomes
and avoid pitfalls in the OR.
