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.
