Microsurgery of the Skull Base

Drawing on decades of experience and wisdom, Dr. Ugo Fisch created this
classic text/atlas on microsurgical procedures for the skull base. The authors
have labored not to popularize skull base surgery, but to provide the details of
each operation, giving surgeons the valuable 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 youll 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
classic text in their professional library. It demonstrates the procedures that
have proven to be both safe and reliable through the years.
