Opis

Representing the pinnacle of skull base surgery,
paraganglioma management requires the advanced surgical skills and expertise
that are presented by Dr. Mario Sanna and his team in this comprehensive
reference. It incorporates extensive surgical and radiological data
compiled over 20 years at the preeminent Gruppo Otologica Clinic in Piacenza,
Italy, and features the exquisite intraoperative photographs and schematic
diagrams that are a hallmark of the highly regarded Sanna texts. All head
and neck and skull base surgeons will find their knowledge, technical
proficiency, and ability to manage these challenging tumors vastly increased by
this informative resource. Special Features:

• Step-by-step descriptions
  of the full range of head and neck paraganglioma procedures, including
  the infratemporal fossa approach type A, the extreme lateral approach, and
  the transcervical approach, plus guidance on managing complex tympanojugular
  paragangliomas
• More than 1,800 clearly labeled, high-quality intraoperative
  photographs correlated to full-color schematic drawings for an in-depth
  understanding of techniques
• Detailed discussion of managing the internal
  carotid artery during procedures, including the neuroradiological use of
  stents
• Pathology-oriented structure that allows the reader to identify a
  lesion at a particular stage and then follow the critical thinking, assessment,
  pre-operative management, and intra-operative course taken by the surgeon
• 
  Comprehensive sections on pathology, physiology, anatomy, epidemiology, and new
  genetic breakthroughs that lay the groundwork for the surgical chapters
• 
  Tips, hints, and pitfalls at the end of each chapter that offer valuable
  insights for managing different clinical scenarios

Demonstrating the complex
decision-making process in many actual cases and offering practical advice for
handling complications, this book puts the reader into the operating room with
the surgeon. It is indispensable for all head and neck and skull base
surgeons who manage paragangliomas and related pathologies, as well as for
otolaryngologists, neurosurgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, radiologists, and
interventional radiologists involved in assessing these intricate
conditions.
