Book description
Praise for this book:
[Four stars]
Populated with superb pictures of anatomical dissections...highly
recommend[ed]...to any clinician dealing with skull base
conditions.--Doody's Review
A richly illustrated, step-by-step guide to the full range of approaches
in skull base surgery, this book is designed to enable the surgeon to
gain not only the technical expertise for common procedures, but to be
able to confidently modify standard approaches when necessary.
Full-color images of cadavers orient the surgeon to the clinical setting
by presenting in precise detail the perspective encountered in the
operating room. The images demonstrate surgical anatomy and the relevant
structures adjacent to the exposures. Special emphasis on the
relationship between the operative corridor and the surrounding anatomy
helps the surgeon develop a clear understanding of whether tissues
adjacent to the dissection can be exposed without complications.Features:
More than 1,000 high-quality images demonstrate key concepts
Brief lists of Key Steps guide the surgeon through each step of the dissection
Concise text supplements each photograph, providing descriptions of
technical maneuvers and clinical pearls
Coverage of the latest innovative approaches enables surgeons to
optimize clinical techniques
Through detailed coverage of surgical anatomy and relevant adjacent
structures, this book enables clinicians to develop a solid
understanding of the entire operative region as well as the limits and
possibilities of each skull base approach. It is an indispensable
reference for neurosurgeons, head and neck surgeons, and
otolaryngologists, and residents in these specialties. "A
wonderful addition to the literature regarding operative techniques in
skull base surgery...superb...[An] outstanding addition to the
literature, which can serve as a wonderful guide for practice..."
-- Otology & Neurotology_x000D_ _x000D_ "[Five stars] An
outstanding book...[presents] detailed knowledge...comprehensive,
step-by-step dissection to reveal the anatomical landmarks for operative
skull base approaches...very clear, succinct text...very high-quality
photographs, with comprehensive anatomical views...will be regarded as
the reference atlas of skull base dissection."--Annals of the Royal
College of Surgeons of England_x000D_ _x000D_ "A wonderful book
that guides the reader through skull base anatomy...illustrated with
over 1100 high quality color photographs that provide a step-by-step
guide to surgical anatomy...it is very easy for the reader to to open up
to a section and begin to use [this book] as a teaching tool and
surgical guide...it will be used over and over
again...recommend[ed]."--Le Journal Canadien des Sciences
Neurologiques_x000D_ _x000D_ "A useful help in the daily practice
for neurosurgeons and ENT surgeons...[An] enrichment and a must for ...
neurosurgeons." -- Central European Neurosurgery_x000D_ _x000D_
"An important contribution not only to neurosurgery but also other
surgical disciplines that demand careful navigation in and around the
skull base...The authors thoughtfully present the details of operative
skull base corridors through cadaveric dissection in a logical,
anatomically organized manner and demonstrate nuanced expertise in the
array of approaches described...Particularly impressive is the extensive
detail given to soft tissue structures surrounding the cranial vault,
which are often dealt with in a cursory fashion in similar neurosurgical
texts...this photographic atlas provides a comprehensive yet eminently
readable review of skull base operative approaches. This text is
valuable to experienced surgeons who desire a microsurgical reference.
For surgical trainees, the book is an indispensable companion along the
path of mastery of a technically challenging anatomic area."--AANS
(American Association of Neurological Surgeons) Young Neurosurgeons'
Newsletter_x000D_ _x000D_ "[Four stars] Populated with superb
pictures of anatomical dissections, this book provides a stepwise
approach to the most important anatomical landmarks as well as areas of
avoidance during skull base surgery...highly
recommend[ed]."--Doody's Review Department of Neurosurgery,
