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 descriptionsof technical maneuvers and clinical
pearls-Coverage of the latest innovative approaches enables surgeons to optimize clinical
techniquesThrough 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
