By R. Loch Macdonald

A state-of-the-art neurovascular surgery atlas from internationally renowned neurosurgeon R. Loch Macdonald

Neurosurgical Operative Atlas: Vascular Neurosurgery, Third Edition, by R. Loch Macdonald and expert contributors, reflects the latest advances in endoscopic, endovascular, microsurgical, and bypass techniques used in the treatment of cerebrovascular disease.
