Unique skull-base surgical resource features strategic, technical,
and philosophical pearls from master surgeons In a sense, surgeons
go into battle every time they enter the OR. Like soldiers, they
must be prepared to make profound sacrifices to protect innocent
people (their patients), while putting egos aside and resisting the
call of fame. Skull Base Surgery: Strategies by Walter Jean and
distinguished contributors provides eloquent expression to the
inner voices that speak to surgeons during each stage of battle.
Unlike other textbooks that only emphasize the technical building
blocks surgeons need, this resource focuses on state-of-the-art
skull-base procedures, important thought processes, and vital
strategies required to perform them. Size and shape variations,
diverse biological characteristics, different anatomic locations
and extensions, and specific relationships and entanglements with
nerves and vessels make all skull base tumors unique and highly
challenging. In addition to anatomy, two other important factors
need to be considered every time a surgeon enters the OR - the
particular circumstances of the patient and surgeon. Throughout
this remarkable book, master neurosurgeons take readers on an
insightful journey exploring the decision-making process of
choosing and executing a surgical approach, with firsthand pearls
from the battlefield. Key Highlights Nine sections organized by
anatomy cover tumors in the anterior, anterolateral, lateral,
central, postero-superior, and postero-inferior skull base regions,
and clivus, petrous bone, and ventricles Thirty-two systematically
organized chapters flow from clinical presentation and
radiographic/anatomical findings of specific patients and tumors -
to decision-making and execution of the surgical approach Real-life
cases enhance understanding of all the elements that go into each
operation Perspectives sections at the end of each chapter embrace
the concept of diverse surgeon viewpoints on similar ideas,
techniques, and approaches This exemplary book is essential reading
for neurosurgery and otolaryngology residents, fellows, veteran
practitioners, and allied health personnel who care for patients
with skull base tumors. This book includes complimentary access to
a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.
