A state-of-the-art resource on head, neck, and skull base surgical procedures in children Pediatric otolaryngology is a rapidly expanding field with remarkable technological advances that have improved the quality of life for young patients. Many highly complex pediatric head and neck procedures are not commonly performed, resulting in a paucity of resources. Atlas of Pediatric Head and Neck and Skull Base Surgery by renowned surgeons Dan M. Fliss, Ari DeRowe, and an impressive group of interdisciplinary innovators fills a gap in the literature. The richly illustrated atlas features a detailed discussion and guidance on groundbreaking surgeries developed and currently performed by top academic surgeons in the field, many of whom contributed to this book. The introductory section lays a solid foundation of knowledge, with discussion of pediatric anatomy, distinctive topography of the skull base, anesthesia and pain control considerations, and imaging modalities. Fifty-four subsequent chapters encompass a rich spectrum of approaches and pediatric pathologies, organized by head and neck; skull base and craniofacial; airway, voice, and swallowing; trauma; and reconstruction sections. Surgical chapters include an introduction; evidence-based guidelines; preoperative, anesthetic, intraoperative and postoperative considerations; techniques and positioning; extensive references; and more. Key Features Concise, targeted descriptions of preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative considerations enhance the ability to deliver high-quality surgical care and achieve optimal outcomes Bulleted list of highlights at the end of each surgical chapter provide a quick reference Detailed, high-quality color illustrations and surgical photographs enhance understanding of impacted anatomy and techniques This is an essential reference for otolaryngology, maxillofacial, plastic reconstructive, and neurosurgery residents, as well as for pediatric otolaryngology and head and neck fellows. Practicing head and neck surgeons and pediatric otolaryngologists will also find it beneficial.

Operative procedures performed directly on the base of the brain, inner ear, and cranial nerves are inherently delicate undertakings further complicated by the difficulty of achieving easy access to this confined space. Written by pioneers working at one of the world's leading centers for advanced neurosurgery, An Atlas of Skull Base Surgery clearly describes the steps by which each of the key anatomical structures at the skull base and inner ear may be accessed in order to perform advanced surgical interventions. Featuring over 170 specially commissioned diagrams, and over 100 photographs of MRI, CT, and other imaging modalities, the atlas comprehensively covers a range of surgical approaches. The authors use the detailed supporting artwork to demonstrate the main steps in each procedure and help readers conceptualize the anatomy and surgical trajectory. With extensive accompanying notes on patient assessment and postoperative care, An Atlas of Skull Base Surgery facilitates the complete evaluation and management of patients with skull base lesions in which the clinical presentation or cell type mandates an operative procedure.

This sixth installment in the Master Techniques in Otolaryngologic Surgery series provides step-by-step instructions and descriptions of procedures that every otolaryngologist who performs otologic/neurotologic surgery should find very useful. All contributors are experts in their field, chosen for their extensive experience and expertise. Extensively illustrated, the book discusses hearing and tympanic membrane reconstruction, grafting, regeneration, approaches for tumor excisions, implanting techniques, nerve decompression, repair and rehabilitation, and other techniques.

Temporal Bone Histology and Radiology Atlas provides a user-friendly approach to understanding both microscopic and radiographic anatomy of the temporal bone. It examines horizontal and vertical histologic sections and correlates them to the more commonly seen radiographic images, primarily on CT and also on MR. This enables the reader to "see" (by visualizing) much more when they look at radiographs than they otherwise would. This text is easy to use and can be referred to in detail as well as briefly and frequently in the course of otolaryngology or radiology practice, and can be digested comfortably for maintenance of certification (MOC) and Boards preparation. Key Topics: * Anatomical relationships * Fetal and postnatal development * Concerns doctors should have regarding radiographic images * Special preparation techniques for electron microscopy and DNA extraction Special histology techniques Temporal Bone Histology and Radiology Atlas is designed for otolaryngologists and radiologists in all phases of their careers, from medical school to residency and fellowship training to Boards to MOC and in ongoing practice. Neuro-otologists and neuroradiologists will benefit from this centralized compilation of information as well.

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.Features: 328 full-color photographs and diagrams orient the reader to the clinical setting Helpful pointers appear throughout the text -- such as the precise usage of the burr -- to help readers hone their surgical skills Definitions and tips are incorporated as footnotes in each chapter to aid quick and easy reference Thought-provoking section presents surgical techniques, instruments, and prostheses that were developed and designed by the author Extensive glossary contains the most frequently used terms in otology and neurotology An ideal companion for use in both the dissection laboratory and the operating room, Atlas of Temporal Bone Surgery is an indispensable one-stop reference for otologists, neurotologists, and any specialist involved in skull base surgery or otolaryngology.

"… the neurosurgical primer that every resident will own and study" - Robert Spetzler Given that the great majority of brain surgeries are preceded by a craniotomy, mastering the procedure is essential for junior residents. Choosing the appropriate craniotomy and executing it safely is the difference between a straightforward case with good access to the target and a procedure where access to the target is needlessly traumatic and may even be impossible. Professor Raabe's The Craniotomy Atlas provides precise instructions for performing all common neurosurgical cranial exposures, including: convexity approaches, midline approaches, skull base approaches, transsphenoidal approaches and more. Instructions for each craniotomy include positioning, head fixation, aesthetic considerations, and protecting the dura mater. Special Features: More than 600 high-quality operative photographs and brilliant illustrations support the step-by-step descriptions, with all the precision and attention to detail that neurosurgeons have come to expect from the editor Professor Raabe, and the associate editors Professors Meyer, Schaller, Vajkoczy, and Winkler. Full coverage of complications and risk factors Checklist with summaries of the critical steps All residents and trainees in neurosurgery will treasure this essential resource, which will help build confidence when performing these critical neurosurgical procedures.

This is a single volume text which meshes the information available in surgical atlases with clinical disease entities.
