Minimal Access Skull Base Surgery – Open and Endoscopic Assisted Approaches is a highly illustrated guide to a range of approaches in ENT surgery, edited by Kofi Boahene and Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa from the John Hopkins Medical Institute, Baltimore, USA. The book focuses on minimal access approaches to skull base compartments using an endoscope, via natural and secondary openings into the head. Comprised of 31 chapters, across seven sections, the book begins with a general introductory section which covers imaging of the skull base, surgical pathology of the skull base and anaesthetic requirements for skull base surgery. Further sections cover approaches to surgery via particular anatomical areas, including transorbital, supraorbital, transnasal, infratemporal fossa, and transoral approaches. The concluding sections cover the management of selected skull base lesions, skull base reconstruction and postoperative management. Minimal Access Skull Base Surgery – Open and Endoscopic Assisted Approaches is enhanced by 428 images and illustrations and an accompanying DVD featuring practical guidance on several procedures. This is an essential resource for neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, head and neck surgeons, and any health care providers involved in these minimal access procedures.

During the last decade the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) to the skull base has become a very powerful method to add to the array of neurosurgical technologies. This volume provides a broad overview of the role of transnasal approaches in a wide spectrum of skull base diseases. It starts with a historical perspective of the evolution from the microscope to the endoscope in endonasal surgery and then explores in depth the principles and techniques of the various methods. Discussed are topics based on anatomical boundaries: pituitary fossa to the suprasellar space to the cavernous sinus, clivus and the anterior cranial fossa. Access to the infratemporal and posterior fossae via both the endoscopic endonasal and the retrosigmoid approaches are reviewed. In addition, the critical topic of reconstruction following ‘minimally invasive’ skull base surgery and finally the learning curve and complications associated with the applications of these new and exciting approaches are discussed. This volume will provide the latest knowledge to help neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, head and neck surgeons as well as craniofacial surgeons understand the applications and practice of this important technique.

The first two sections of this text address endoscopic and keyhole surgical procedures for cranial base and deep brain structures. These sections provide a comprehensive, state-of-the art review of this minimally invasive field and will serve as a valuable resource for clinicians, surgeons and researchers with an interest in cranial base surgery. The philosophy, techniques, indications and limitations of endoscopic and keyhole cranial base surgery are covered in detail. This reference includes a discussion of the basic principles of these approaches as well as the preoperative planning, intraoperative pearls, and reconstruction techniques. The thorough descriptions of the practical and technical aspects are accompanied by extensive illustrations, figures and operative images. Extending beyond the technical details of these procedures, this text provides a third section that focuses on a thorough analysis and comparison of the endoscopic, keyhole and traditional open approaches to specific intracranial regions. Utilizing a “target-based” approach, the utility of each surgical technique is evaluated in regard to accessing pathology of the anterior, middle and posterior fossa cranial base as well as the deep central regions of the brain. All chapters are written by experts in their fields and include the most up to date scientific and clinical information. Endoscopic and Keyhole Cranial Base Surgery will be a valuable resource to specialists in optimizing surgical results and improving patient outcomes.
