The long-awaited Second Edition of Kempe's Operative Neurosurgery is being prepared by Dr. Michael Salcman with the assistance of Edward R. Laws, MD (pituitary surgery, epilepsy surgery, peripheral nerve surgery); Roberto Heros, MD (brain surgery, carotid endarterectomy); and Volker Sonntag, MD (spinal surgery). The book will be thoroughly updated and revised, but will preserve the user-friendly aspects of the original book: brevity and ease of practical application in the operating room environment.
