Long awaited, this fine surgical atlas covers all aspects of neuro-otology and lateral skull base procedures in comprehensively in detail. The lavishly illustrated step-by-step guide is written by two American experts to ensure continuity between topics. The text is highly structured with step-by-step explanation of each surgical procedure and TIPS and TECHNIQUES sections as well as a PEARLS section in each chapter. More than 200 superb artwork illustrations describe each surgical procedure with nearly 600 additional intraoperative pictures with CT and MRI images to teach specific case examples. This offers a complete educational experience for the skull base surgeon in training and a thorough reference for the experienced surgeon.
"This case-based surgical atlas for neurotology and lateral skull base surgery employs not only illustrations, but also intraoperative photos showing the steps. ? The audience includes otolaryngology residents, neurotologists, and neurotology fellows, as well as neurosurgeons who collaborate with neurotologists in a team-based approach to manage patients with these tumors. ? This is a great addition. The unique perspectives of the actual cases make the book different and a worthy contribution to the otolaryngology literature." (Alan G. Micco, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2016)
