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.
Cancer surgery of the mouth and throat can involve major incision
wounds, tracheotomy, or necessitate the breaking of bones.
Recognizing the benefits and success of robotic surgery in other
areas of medicine, the authors present its use in head and neck
surgery, resulting in less surgery, less deformity, and faster
rehabilitation. In this new book, the authors describe the
preoperative aspects of Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS), including
patient evaluation, instrumentation and set-up, moving on to
diagnostic endoscopic and surgical techniques for tonsillectomy,
laryngectomy, tongue base and glottic resection, and speech and
swallowing considerations. They conclude with an examination of the
potential for TORS in skull-base surgery, its future application
and, importantly, telesurgery via the Internet. A pioneering book
for a pioneering surgical technique in head and neck surgical
technique and management, this should be on the shelf of every
otolaryngology-head and neck surgeon.

Hormones and Signaling focuses on the mechanism of gene regulation
at the cellular level. It also covers the way hormones act to
modulate gene regulation and animal development.

The critically acclaimed laboratory standard, Methods in
Enzymology, is one of the most highly respected publications in the
field of biochemistry. Since 1955, each volume has been eagerly
awaited, frequently consulted, and praised by researchers and
reviewers alike. The series contains much material still relevant
today - truly an essential publication for researchers in all
fields of life sciences.
