Handbook of Neurosurgery (Greenberg) New 7th Edition
I am pleased to announce that the 7th edition of the Handbook of Neurosurgery by Mark S. Greenberg ((c) 2010) is currently in press. If everything goes well, it should be available by early to mid March 2010. The retail price will be $99.95 U.S.
My goal has always been to try and create a book in which one could quickly look up information to help with managing neurosurgical patients, as well as to answer important neurosurgical questions (one of my early inspirations occurred in my residency during Grand Rounds, when Frank Mayfield asked what was the blood supply to the spinal cord, and we all sank into our seats hoping not to get called on!).
New or improved features in the 7th edition include:
- color illustrations for some anatomy and surgical diagrams
- color highlights throughout the book to improve readability
- basic surgical procedures (this is not a surgical atlas!)
- more management specifics (blunt carotid injuries, stroke...)
- Booking the Case: information to help jog the memory about what is needed for scheduling an operation and what to put in the consent, for over 30 different operations. I would love to get feedback regarding how useful this is, and for ways to improve it
- TLICS & SLIC fracture grading scales
- summaries of management guidelines for NPH and cervical spondylotic myelopathy
- the use of endovascular techniques has been expanded in applicable sections
I am also planning on having some giveaways in the coming weeks (some free T-shirts and free books). Here is my legal disclaimer for that: I will be giving away some T-shirts and some books in the coming weeks. I reserve the right to give away as much free stuff as I feel like, and the giveaways will be arbitrary and totally unfair. No purchase is necessary. Void where prohibited. There is no obligation on my part to give anything to any particular individual, so please don't even bother bringing legal action against me or Greenberg Graphics. This promotion is being done by me as an individual independently of Thieme Medical Publishers, without their involvement, so leave them alone. I will announce in this forum and on my Twitter feed (see below) when the free giveaway promotion is over.
I have set up a Twitter feed for anyone interested in the progress of the book and giveaways as well as any activity related to the development of an electronic version of the book. Subsribe to neuroblade1 on twitter for the latest information.
Best regards to all.

2009 Surgical Neuro-Oncology Fellowship
2009 Surgical Neuro-Oncology Fellowship
University of Cincinnati/Mayfield Clinic
The University of Cincinnati Department of Neurosurgery and the Mayfield Clinic are currently seeking candidates for a one-year Surgical Neuro-Oncology Fellowship to begin in July 2009. The fellowship is part of the University of Cincinnati Brain Tumor Center. This clinical fellowship is focused on the training of neurosurgeons in the surgical and clinical care of patients with tumors of the nervous system, primarily brain tumors. Fellows will also gain experience in the treatment of tumors of the skull base, spine, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.
This fellowship includes oversight of the Surgical Neuro-Oncology Service at University Hospital, evaluation of patients in the multi-disciplinary neuro-oncology clinics, and organization, supervision, and contributions to the weekly Neuro-Oncology Tumor Board. At least one day per week is devoted to clinical research projects.
Our internationally-recognized program includes a well-respected neuro-oncology team, active radiosurgery unit for treatment of tumors with special focus on frameless radiosurgery, access to multiple clinical trials covering the range of brain tumors, intraoperative MRI, special emphasis on surgical implants for brain tumor therapy including I-125 seeds, chemotherapy wafers, use of combination therapy, and a 20-bed Neurosurgery ICU with dedicated critical care team.
