Overview

Step-by-step descriptions of surgical techniques This book highlights the successful collaboration of plastic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and, in some cases, ENT, maxillofacial, oral, and oculoplastic surgeons, in treating some of the most complex craniofacial, skull-based, intracranial, and spinal problems. Beginning with the basic principles of wound healing and flap rotation, you will find full discussions of craniofacial anomalies, skull base tumors, scalp closures, skull defects, management techniques for spinal dysraphism, and much more. Key features: Nearly 300 beautiful illustrations, most in full-color, effectively map out each procedure Updated with a thorough review of potential complications and how to avoid them Valuable procedural guidelines on the newest techniques for full calvarial and facial reconstructions, especially around the eyes, orbit, and midface region -Demonstrates MR and 3D imaging in surgical management of congenital malformations of the spine Discusses the role of ENT, maxillofacial, and oculoplastic procedures for optimal outcomes With a balanced combination of concepts followed by illustrated, step-by-step surgical techniques, here is the book that all neurosurgeons and plastic and reconstructive surgeons will use as both an everyday reference and a key addition to their surgical armamentariums.

This new volume should be welcomed by neurosurgeons, as well as colleagues in plastic and maxillo-facial surgery. [It] focuses on those aspects of plastic surgery that are of practical relevance to conditions that neurosurgeons treat...excellent color illustrations. This is a practical and inexpensive textbook which I think all practicing neurosurgeons should have, whether predominantly in adult or pediatric practice. I wish such a book had been available during my training. It should be available in hospital and medical school libraries, as well as in neurosurgery, plastic and maxillo-facial departments. It should also be available to orthopaedic surgeons who deal with spinal surgery and trauma. --Acta Neurochirurgica <p> This book provides explicit description (richly illustrated) of how to perform certain operations with sufficient detail to guide a senior resident through the procedure.

Specific clincial pearls [give] personal recommendations regarding management and surgical technique. This text is an updated version of the original text. It consists of an expanded surgical atlas for some techniques, with many fine illustrations and intraoperative photographs, as well as extensive narrative detail provided on operative approaches. [The book] allows readers to judge whether they wish to use these recommended techniques or modify them to fit their own observations and experiences. The text is beautifully illustrated. Its special niche is introducing information about basic plastic surgery reconstructive techniques for problem conditions (defects and approaches) that are commonly encountered in neurosurgical practice. --Journal of NeurosurgeryThis beautifully produced second edition of this book is the work of a well-known and talented neurosurgeon, Jim Goodrich, and an equally outstanding plastic surgeon, David Staffenberg. There is a wealth of information in each chapter, and all aspects of craniofacial and tumor surgery have been presented with up-to-date methods of
