Atlas of Skull Base Surgery

by Donlin M. Long (Editor), John K. Niparko (Editor), Bert W. O'Malley Jr (Editor)

Operative procedures directly on the base of the brain, inner ear, and cranial nerves are inherently delicate undertakings and are further complicated by the difficulty of achieving easy access to this confined space. Featuring extensive diagrams, illustrations, and photographs, this book comprehensively covers all of the principal surgical approaches to the base of the skull. Written by pioneers working at one of the world's leading centers for advanced neurosurgery, it clearly describes the steps by which each of the key anatomical structures at the skull base and inner ear may be accessed in order to perform advanced surgical interventions.
