Surgery of the Skull Base

S. Alexander König and Uwe SpetzgerKlinikum Karlsruhe, Karlsruhe, Germany

“The purpose is to discuss the therapeutic concepts and treatment strategies of skull base pathology from the perspective of a neurosurgeon, with appropriate cross-referencing to the interdisciplinary specialties. These worthy objectives are met by constantly presenting a multidisciplinary treatment perspective with an emphasis on the team and specialty approach. The audience is neurosurgeons, ENT surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, neurologists, and radiologists.” (Gregory D. Arnone, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2018)
