Greenbergs Handbook of Neurosurgery

The most comprehensive, practical, compact, and current neurosurgical reference

Since its inception in 1990, Greenberg's Handbook of Neurosurgery, by Mark Greenberg and new associate editor Nitin Agarwal, has been widely acclaimed and referenced by thousands of neurosurgical residents and practitioners. Now in its 11th edition, numerous new topics have been added, others have been updated, and many existing sections reflect the latest national clinical guidelines. To enhance clarity, the number of illustrations has been increased, while the more than 6,000 references have been transferred to the digital version to retain portability. The digital interface also enables enlarging text and diagrams for greater understanding.

The generously illustrated text features 24 sections and 118 chapters organized systematically, starting with anatomy and physiology and concluding with endovascular intervention. Updates in this edition include Moyamoya disease, Cushing disease/syndrome, trigeminal neuralgia, chronic hydrocephalus in adults, seizure surgery, intraoperative pathology consultations, high-riding vertebral artery in C2, and intraoperative dyes.

Key Features

• The AO Spine thoracolumbar spine injury and subaxial cervical spine injury classification systems
• Updated management of metastatic spine tumors, including the NOMS framework, Bilsky scale, and SORG nomogram
• Spinal measurement parameters for the cervical spine and update to sagittal balance measurements for the thoracolumbar spine
• The most current AHA/ASA guidelines on the management of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage
• 2026 American Heart Association guidelines on acute ischemic stroke
• The NIN-NINDS TBI classification system (including use of biomarkers for decision to obtain initial head CT), 2023 ACEP Guidelines for mild TBI, and BIG indications for admission after TBI
  This indispensable, comprehensive "bible" for neurosurgical residents and neurosurgeons offers new, updated, easily digestible, and actionable information in a portable format. It also provides an ideal study companion for board examination and preparation for the maintenance of certification.

This print book includes a scratch off code to access a complimentary digital copy on MedOne.
