Summary

Introduction

Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery is Volume 32 of a series sponsored by the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies, mainly intended for use in training neurosurgeons. The first part of each volume presents advances in neurosurgery and related fields, and the second part presents detailed descriptions of standard procedures and established topics. The first chapter in the “Advances” section is about “The Transition from Child to Adult in Neurosurgery.” This is an extremely interesting and provocative discussion of multiple issues related to continuing care of patients who undergo neurosurgical treatment in childhood. General concepts such as moving from the care of a pediatric neurosurgeon to an adult neurosurgeon are discussed, along with specific discussions of patients with tumors, myelomeningocele, and hydrocephalus.
