Dedication
The eighth edition of the Handbook of Neurosurgery is dedicated to my wonderful wife, Debbie. She
inspires me to be the best I can be.
This book is also dedicated to “Duke” (August Henry Wagner III), beloved uncle of contributor Jayson
Sack, who su ered a fatal aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage as this book was going to press. His
selfless life was an inspiration to Jayson and his family. He will be missed and never forgotten.
