Color Atlas Of Microneurosurgical Approaches;Cranial Base And Intracranial Midline

COLOR ATLAS OF MICRONEUROSURGICAL APPROACHES has been designed to improve upon standard anatomic references and to present neuroanatomy as it appears, step-by-step, during actual surgery. The book leads the neurosurgeon through a wide range of common neurosurgical approaches, highlighting the relevant anatomy at each stage, providing the information needed to achieve successful, high-quality results.

Written by leading authorities in the field, the book presents all major approaches to the cranial base and intracranial midline in a consistent, easy-to-follow format. For each approach, the authors begin with a brief description of the surgical target and the structures exposed during the procedure. They then use expertly matched photographs and illustrations to present both the standard anatomy of the operative site and the complex, layer-by-layer anatomy seen in the course of surgery.

The most advanced guide to these procedures currently available, the book features:

- Step-by-step coverage of more than 25 complex neurosurgical approaches

- Over 900 precise color photographs and line drawings presenting both traditional and "operative" neuroanatomy

- Detailed suggestions for improving surgical results - all from recognized experts in the field

- Summaries of the limits, advantages, and disadvantages of each procedure

- Clear, helpful organization by anatomical region

Practical, concise, and superbly designed, this book is a must for physicians who wish to expand their surgical skills and improve their understanding of neuroanatomy. It will also be essential for those seeking advanced instruction in the most complex skull base approaches.
