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.
