Central Nerve Plexus Injury
(With CD-ROM)
by Thomas Carlstedt
"In summary, this book is inspirational in describing the efforts of a true surgical pioneer over many years to tackle one of the most challenging surgical procedures to treat traumatic injuries which involve damage to spinal nerve roots as they enter at the spinal cord. It represents an injury at the interface of peripheral and central nervous systems and therefore poses certain unique challenges, as well as opportunities to compare and contrast what regenerating axons can and cannot do within these two very different environments. Dr Carlstedt has done what many physicians hope to do but very few ever achieve. He has increased our understanding of an important biological and clinical problem at a scientific level as well as pioneered a new surgical approach that is benefiting patients significantly. This book and the efforts represented in it serves as an inspiration to all of us interested in advancing the field of medicine."
