Atlas of Temporal Bone Surgery

Master the challenges of temporal bone surgery with this practical, full-color atlas

Beautifully illustrated and comprehensive, this must-have atlas guides readers through the delicate, high-risk surgical
approaches they need to successfully manage pathology of the temporal bone, the most complex anatomic area in the human
body.

Each consistently organized chapter addresses a different technique, beginning with a clear definition of the approach
followed by a discussion of indications and key information on anatomic orientation, surgical steps, and, in many
cases, surgical anatomy. Clearly labeled, full-color illustrations accompany step-by-step descriptions of common and
unique operative techniques. The author, a world-renowned otorhinolaryngologist, provides detailed explanations of
important anatomic landmarks and advice on how to choose the appropriate instruments at each surgical stage.
