Sinopsis

Participants of temporal bone dissection courses often need to equip themselves with a manual that reminds them what they learned and serves as a guide for further study and training. This manual, which is based on Dr. Sanna’s successful 2005 book, is designed to complement and reinforce participants’ experiences by comprehensively covering the normal and surgical anatomy of the temporal bone and all aspects of otologic and neuro-otologic surgery. The content has been carefully revised and expanded, with several new subchapters and a new chapter as well as enhanced and modernized image materials.

Every beautifully illustrated technique includes surgical anatomy, indication, surgical steps, and hints and pitfalls
Specifically prepared cadaveric dissections show relevant surgical anatomy and detailed stepby-step instructions for approaches/techniques
No other temporal bone dissection manual is available that covers anatomy and basics as well as advanced otologic and neuro-otologic surgery in such detail and with such a wealth of high-quality images
