Rhoton’s Cranial Anatomy and Surgical Approaches Illustrated Edition (2019) (PDF) by Albert L. Rhoton Jr.

Description

Cranial Anatomy and Surgical Approaches is the master work of the legendary neurosurgeon Albert L. Rhoton, Jr. — a distillation of 40 years of work to improve safety, accuracy, and gentleness in the medical specialty the author helped shape.

Newly reissued and featuring more than 2000 full-color illustrations, this definitive text on the microsurgical anatomy of the brain remains an essential tool for the education and enrichment of neurosurgeons at any career stage. It fulfils its author’s hopes to make, in his words, the “delicate,
fateful, and awesome” procedures of neurosurgery more gentle, accurate, and safe.

Across three sections, Cranial Anatomy and Surgical Approaches details the safest approaches to brain surgery, including:

· Micro-operative techniques and instrument selection
· Microsurgical anatomy and approaches to the supratentorial area and anterior cranial base, including chapters on aneurysms, the lateral and third ventricles, cavernous sinus and sella.
· Anatomy and approaches to the posterior cranial fossa and posterior cranial base, including chapters on the fourth ventricle, tentorial incisura, foramen magnum, temporal bone, and jugular foramen
· Supra- and infratentorial areas, including chapters on the cerebrum and cerebellum and their arteries and veins

User’s Reviews

Review “Overall, I think the neurosurgical community should be grateful to Dr Rhoton for offering us a cream of surgical neuroanatomy knowledge in one book. The book is full of astonishing dissections of all aspects of human cranium. It looks like this work is not repeatable; therefore, it is unique. Thisbook is for all of us, from junior residents to most experienced neurosurgeons as well as any neuroscientists, such as neurologists, neuroradiologists, and neuroanatomists. Dr Rhoton’s book is on a par with the likes of Vesalius’ work and only a few other publications. These books are in a league oftheir own. It is already an idol in the pantheon of neurosciences books.” — Uğur Türe, MD, Department of Neurosurgery, Yeditepe University School of Medicine”The photographs, the text, and the illustrations describing the accompanying surgical approaches are easy to follow and understand. This is an outstanding resource for those training in neurosurgery.” — Fady Charbel, MD, Doody’s Reviews

⭐ The Rhoton Collection has always been a go-to review for my education in neuroanatomy. I have long heard of the “Rhoton Cranial Anatomy and Surgical Approaches” which had been out of print since before I was in college. Never having laid eyes on a non-bootlegged copy, I was incredibly excited to hear about the re-issue of this book from Neurosurgery. I finally made the decision to cough up the $350 to buy it and decided to purchase through Amazon since the Oxford website claimed a suspension in shipments due to COVID.The cover is beautiful, no dust jacket, high quality. That’s where the quality ends. The book is a literal re-issue with no updates, not even a new foreword. The images throughout the book appear as if they were literally xeroxed from the original publication. Most of the images are grainy and minimally pixelated to the point of being unable to distinguish the labeled structure in some instances.I completely understand that these images were taken in the early 2000’s in Dr. Rhoton’s lab with the photography equipment that was available at the time. However, this is not a neurosurgical atlas that you will easily learn from visually. The written content is invaluable of course, but it is still disappointing to find that there was no effort to honor Dr. Rhoton’s legacy by applying year 2020 technology to the production and printing of the book. A true honor to his legacy would be a collaboration which would take the high-definition images of the actual Rhoton collection and combine that as an update. Simply to reissue the book for $350 with only a new cover is purely greed.

⭐ The prose style (like a dissection manual) and gross anatomy photographs and cartoons of this anatomic atlas have been invaluable in helping me understand neuroanatomy. By correlating this information with the imaging anatomy outlined in Duvernoy’s atlases, I have really advanced my grasp on neuroanatomy. The articles that comprise the atlas are all available online, but I can’t print publisher grade images, and having this book in physical format (as opposed to a collection of pdfs) has made the information much more accessible for me.

⭐ Text is basically reprint of the original. A bible for neurosurgeons. However, the quality of the printing looks like photocopies using someones iphone and is of poor quality. Disappointing.

⭐ Great product. Highly recommend.

⭐ Uno de los mejores textos de anatomia

⭐ Thanks a lot for the last but not least work done by our mentor, his seminal work, inspire us to do more, for our patinet and for our work! Dr Rhoton, our teacher, Thank you very much!

⭐ The best anatomy book

⭐ Useful

⭐ This is a book that i need. Thanks to amazon for prividing it with lower price, and fast shipping. The book is in good condition.This is a “must have” book if you want to study neurosurgery, neurology, or anything related to surgery and anatomy of the human brain. The figures and texts are very concise, clear and complete. There is no wasting time or money if you own and really read this book. The best investment of learning for beginers and experienced experts. The colorful figure provide us a detail inside view thorugh the “road” of vessels, nerve and fibers. The surgical approach based on anatomical tip and tricks are also well-explained here. Thank you to dr. Alber R. Rhoton, Jr for providing advanced anatomical and surgical “textbook” on neurosurgery.

⭐ An excellent and very detailed treatise on anatomy of the CNS. The book is divided by anatomic regions and every chapter is illustrated with a great deal of superb quality photographies and diagrams, the main value of the book. The figure explanations are very extensive (more than the main text, indeed) and frequently they are extended over several pages. Their type size is too little and the lines too long. This creates some extra work for the reader. This is not a book for begginners and requires a previous knowledge of the anatomy of the central nervous system. It is a book to be recommended without any reservation to neurosugeons, and also to otolaryngologists-head and neck surgeons dedicated to cranial base surgery.
