Editorial Reviews

Review

"The chapters feature introductory material about the history of the technique, followed by clearly presented treatment of the various surgical techniques, non-surgical treatments, complications, outcomes, and a full list of references. The volumes are heavily illustrated with b&w plates and a group of color plates." -- SciTech Book News, March 2006

'We all know the Schmidek and Sweet. It has the reputation of being a user-friendly guide to surgical plans for working neurosurgeons, a source of advancing knowledge and expertise for students, trainees, and practitioners, and an overview of information useful to take to the operating room. While maintaining the book's characteristic systematic approach since the first edition, the new editor, Dr. Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa, has added new sections to reflect the changes since the previous edition. Most of the new sections involve pediatric neurosurgery, endovascular surgery, spine and skull base minimally invasive techniques, and peripheral nerves. The legacy of Schmidek and Sweet continues, thanks to the expertise of Dr. Quinones-Hinojosa and the renowned neurosurgeons who contributed to this edition.' - Ramsis Farid Ghaly, MD, FACS(Ghaly Neurosurgical Associates) Doody 5 stars!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

From the humblest beginnings in Mexicali, Mexico, Dr. Quiñones-Hinojosa literally jumped the border fence into the United States for a better future. With a drive and passion unparalleled, he worked to become an internationally renowned neuroscientist and neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Dr Q received a medical degree from Harvard University, where he graduated cum laude. He went on to complete his residency in neurosurgery at the University of California, San Francisco, where he also completed a postdoctoral fellowship in developmental and stem cell biology. At Johns Hopkins, Dr. Quiñones is an Associate Professor of Neurosurgery and Oncology, Neuroscience and Cellular and Molecular Medicine. In addition to directing the Brain Tumor Surgery Program at Johns Hopkins Bayview Hospital, and the Pituitary Surgery Program at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Dr. Quiñones leads the Brain Tumor Stem Cell Laboratory. He focuses on the surgical treatment of primary and metastatic brain tumors, with an emphasis on motor and speech mapping during surgery as well as in the treatment of patients with pituitary and skull base tumors using transphenoidal endonasal and minimally invasive surgical approaches.

Today he is known as Dr. Q, an internationally renowned neurosurgeon and neuroscientist who leads cutting edge research to cure brain cancer. Named as one of the 100 most influential Hispanics in 2008, Dr. Q was also selected by Popular Science magazine as one of their 6th Annual Brilliant Ten-in their search for young genius influencing the course of science. Among his extensive publications in the medical field, Dr. Q is the lead editor for the upcoming edition of Schmidek and Sweet's Operative Neurosurgical Techniques, the world's preeminent encyclopedia of neurosurgery.

Dr. Q conducts numerous research efforts on elucidating the role of stem cells in the origin of brain tumors and the potential role stem cells can play in fighting brain cancer and regaining neurological function. He has received R01 funding from the National Institute of Health for his work with stem cells and cancer and his awards include also grants from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Physician-Scientist Early Career Award, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the Maryland Stem Cell Foundation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great addition to the Schmidek and Sweet legacy
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2012

Schmidek and Sweet: Operative Neurosurgical Techniques is the most acclaimed operative neurosurgical book for many reasons. Not just that it has detailed description of all neurosurgical procedures in a simple yet to the core style, it also features an extensive explanation of the indications, preoperative preparations, complication avoidance and outcomes. I have the Kindle version of the book which gives me the freedom to check any information I need at any time, book mark important pages, write notes, easily navigate different chapters and control the page and writing size. The newest edition is much more up-to-date and adds many new chapters and techniques. I think that this book is indispensable to any neurosurgeon in training. It's also very useful to any established neurosurgeon who would like a simple and quick yet detailed and updated reminder of different neurosurgical techniques.
One last comment, I think the book may benefit from more diagrams and pictures in the future edition, to add an atlas-like experience to this great text that is definitely a great addition to the distinguished legacy of the Schmidek and Sweet series.

I was excited to get the Kindle version of this book.
I am however disappointed that several chapters lack images as "rights were not granted to include this figure in electronic media. Please refer to the printed publication".
Clearly, I do not have the printed version so I am not happy that I am missing valuable figures/images etc.

Classic text book, with a new glitzier style with more colour slides etc. Haven't finished reading the whole book yet, but what I have seen so far is in keeping with the reputation of the book.

Usual speedy delivery from Amazon, very pleased with that.

I was under the impression that the book was coming to me from Germany, but it turns out it was from India! Bit of a surprise, but as the quality of the book was fine, I don't mind that too much. Also, the online access, which works like a charm, is brilliant.

Overall, well worth the price.
