This atlas provides all the basic and advanced information required by surgeons in order to understand fully the skull base anatomy. It is organized according to anatomo-surgical pathways to the hidden areas of the skull base. These pathways are described in step-by-step fashion with the aid of a wealth of color images and illustrations. The emphasis is on endoscopic anatomy, but in order to provide a holistic perspective, informative three-dimensional reconstructions are presented alongside the endoscopic images and radiologic images are included when appropriate. In effect, windows are opened on the anatomy so that the reader is guided on a journey throughout the skull base region. This anatomically oriented atlas will serve as an ideal learning tool for novice surgeons and will also prove an invaluable reference for the more experienced surgeon

Nasoseptal Perforations: Endoscopic Repair Techniques This atlas offers a complete review of all endoscopic approaches available for the repair of nasoseptal perforations, following damage that may occur through trauma, infection, drug abuse, or as a result of endoscopic skull base surgery. Approaches are explained step by step using brilliant photographs from fresh cadaver dissections. Key Features: Internationally renowned specialists from Europe and the United States as editors and contributors Full-color photos of fresh cadaver dissections illustrate all steps for each approach Specific anatomic landmarks as revealed during each step are detailed, providing confidence in spatial orientation Includes risks and potential complications as well as methods to reduce them Videos of cadaver dissections and live surgery Nasoseptal Perforations: Endoscopic Repair Techniques will be an important resource for residents, fellows, and surgeons in otolaryngology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and cranio-maxillofacial surgery.

This brilliant atlas with its numerous colour-illustrations is the result of many years of Professor Castelnuovo 's and Professor Palma 's personal efforts and dedication in the field of endoscopic sinus/skull base surgery and septorhinoplasty, respectively. Not only the basic procedures, but also the advanced techniques of endoscopic sinus surgery and skull base surgery as well as some "open questions" concerning functional rhinoplasty are covered in a very reader-friendly format. The anatomical basis of these techniques are illustrated with high-quality pictures of the dissective surgical anatomy on fresh-frozen heads as well as by CT and MNR clinical anatomy. Each chapter contains special paragraphs called "Risky surgical encounters," "Bailout procedures and "Taking home pearls" where practical hints relevant for in vivo surgery are pointed out. Paradigmatic case studies contribute to an even better illustration of this field. This atlas is a helpful guide for sinonasal endoscopic surgeon, otorhinolaryngologists as well as for facial plastic and maxillo-facial surgeons, neurosurgeons and ENT/OR nurses.
