Microsurgery of the Skull Base

Description




Drawing on decades of experience and wisdom, Dr. Ugo Fisch
created this classic text/atlas on microsurgical procedures for
the skull base which is now being reprinted as the first in a
series of titles to be published under the banner of Thieme
Classics. The authors' aim was not to popularize skull base
surgery but to provide the details of each operation, giving
surgeons the specific and detailed information they need.

Each chapter of the text discusses a specific procedure and is
divided into two sections covering both the general surgical
steps of the procedure and also its application. Within each
chapter you'll find: general considerations; surgical
techniques; applications; tips and pratfalls; imaging scans of
illustrative cases; and color plates of pre- and post-operative
preparation and instrumentation. The final two chapters discuss
anesthesia issues and the impact of neuroradiology on skull base
surgery. All of the cases used in the book reflect actual
procedures, not hypothetical situations.

All neurosurgeons and otolaryngologists involved in skull base
surgery will benefit from having this Thieme Classic text in
their professional library. It demonstrates the procedures that
have proven to be both safe and reliable through the years.
