Complex Surgical Approaches to the Skull Base: A Dissection Manual

This peer-reviewed dissection manual takes the reader on a stepwise journey through some of the most challenging neurosurgical approaches to the skull base, including the frontotemporal approaches with exposure of the sellar and parasellar regions, the extended middle fossa anterior transpetrosal approach, the posterior and combined transpetrosal approaches, the far lateral transcondylar approach, and the combined far lateral transpetrosal transcervical approaches to the jugular foramen. Along with the modifications, extensions, and clinical nuances of each approach, Complex Surgical Approaches to the Skull Base provides high-yield tips and techniques for successfully performing the most complex skull base approaches, garnered from decades of surgical practice. Each chapter is filled with high-quality dissection photos and illustrations demonstrating the described techniques, designed to accompany our hands-on dissection courses.
