This is a guide, comprehensive text, and atlas of Skull Base Surgery from an internationally recognized group of experts in Neurosurgery from Germany, Japan, and European sources. The trauma, oncology, vascular, and congenital pathologies and their microsurgical treatments are covered in detail. Intraoperative photos, schematic drawings, MRI, CT, 3D angiography, and computer rendered images help the authors in a very useful guide for residents, fellows, and neurosurgeons. The surgical approaches include transsphenoidal, transmastoid, retrosigmoid, suboccipital, retrolabyrinthine, petrousal, subfrontal, etc. are diagrammed with a step by step guide to complex pathologies. EC IC bypass, vascular decompressions, IC-IC, STA-MCA, and saphenous intracranial grafting are all illustrated well. Giant aneurysms, DAV malformations, carotid cavernous fistulae, and giant arterial venous malformations are covered including operative techniques. Kawase’s, Parkinson’s, Mullan’s, Fukushima’s, Yarsargil’s, Spetzger’s etc. triangles are illustrated. The instrumentation including clips, micro scissors, retractors, probes, multi clips, etc are pictured along with their usage intraoperatively. The future of skull base surgery including imaging, virtual reality, and robotic surgery are covered in the final chapter of the book by these well known editors/authors. The role of Cyberknife and radio surgical approaches is explained for the future of the field.
