This book provides a detailed summary of the most important trials and studies in neurosurgery, allowing the reader to rapidly extract the key results of all major trials. This book is an extremely valuable addition to the neurosurgical literature, which I suspect many neurosurgeons will use throughout their training and beyond... As the foreword to the first edition so succinctly put it: summary, analysis and critique with pertinent references - the ideal primer for neurosurgical trainees to enhance their knowledge base. With so few treatments in neurosurgery having a solid evidence base, a book such as this is essential.
