From the reviews:
"This dual-author book stretches to 190 A4 size pages and contains 359 high quality illustrations and operative photographs. It covers all the relevant surgical issues concerning peripheral nerve surgery. … a valuable text for many orthopaedic, reconstructive plastic and neurological surgeons. … The index … has been extremely well done and therefore the high quality contained within the text is also accessible. The book would be a valuable addition to all departmental libraries and … will be kept close at hand by many practising surgeons." (P. J. Hamlyn, Acta Neurochirurgica, Vol. 147 (8), 2005)
