Description
"Cranial Base Surgery" is a modern comprehensive description of diagnosis, management, and outcomes of all lesions affecting the skull base. It is a new definitive reference book for the specialist in skull base surgery. Divided into sections, the coverage includes anatomy, imaging, surgical approaches to the cranial base, pathological conditions of the cranial base, tumors, vascular conditions, non-tumorous lesions, and adjunctive therapy for cranial base tumors. Skull base surgery by definition is a team often made up of the maxillofacial, otologic, and neurosurgical specialists. The combination of skills and experience from these specialists has resulted in operative possibilities that previously would have been impossible. This book examines in detail the different operative approaches and the likely outcomes of each. Edited by James T Robertson and Jon H Robertson of The University of Tennessee, Memphis, and by Professor Hugh B Coakham of the University of Bristol, Frenchay Hospital, England, this book will set the new gold standard in clinical reference books in skull case surgery.
