Synopsis

Skull Base Reconstruction is edited by a team of highly qualified rhinologists and neurotologists and is a comprehensive resource for clinicians and scientists involved in skull base reconstruction. The book is designed to provide the latest information on the subject and each chapter is written by experts who specialize in skull base pathologies and reconstruction. The first section of the book covers the basic principles, anatomy, physiology, imaging, and anesthetic considerations. In the second and third sections, the book discusses pathological processes leading to cerebrospinal fluid leaks and the need for skull base reconstruction in the anterior and lateral skull base, respectively.

The fourth and fifth sections focus on anterior and lateral skull base reconstruction, respectively, with attention to various reconstruction techniques and strategies for managing each defect type.
