Excellent for Rotations by Sonia Chaudhry (usa)

5 Stars

I read this book cover to cover before starting my Neurosurgery subinternship and it really gave me a great overview for the patients I saw in clinic and cases I scrubbed on. The text flows nicely and it is easy to get through in a couple days, yet detailed enough so you can sound intelligent when talking about the topics. Good illustrations too. I would say this is a good read before the rotation starts, and then I recommend Handbook of Neurosurgery while on the rotation for specific cases.

This is the original essential neurosurgery handbook that your junior attendings may have used while in medical school or in residency. It covers all of the basics and gives you a step ahead. The chapters are short and well organized. Nevertheless, a second edition has been published and is recommended over this edition.

Kaye provides a concise introduction to neurosurgery with good coverage of major topics. Chapters are short and enable the student to read while on rounds. Ideally, you would supplement the reading with a true text or original articles. Nevertheless, a good first start.
