Narayanan Janakiram – författare

Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma is a rare tumor in adolescent males. This book, the first of its kind devoted to the management of this tumor, is based on Dr N. Janakiram's paradigm shifting management technique for these highly vascular tumors.These tumors have always been a challenge for skull-base surgeons globally. Classical approaches for managing them comprised employing the endoscopic approach for small tumors and invasive approaches for large ones. Dr Janakiram's methodology employs the minimally invasive endoscopic approach for all stages of these tumors, except those which have massive intracranial extensions or have extensions into the parapharyngeal space which cannot be accessed by the endoscopic technique.In detailing the new approach, this volume also offers a new classification for different stages of these tumors and explains surgical techniques for managing them. This meets a long-standing requirement as the classification had remained incomplete because of the lack of adequate number of reported cases globally.This book, authored by some of the pioneers of this field, has the following salient features:Systematic organization of content and wide coverage of topics: from frequently performed procedures to complex, challenging surgeries, surgical approaches and technical maneuvers.Complete explanation of latest endoscopic techniques and optimal utilization of new technologies.Coverage of all stages of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, based on a new endoscopic staging system.Step-by-step detailing of different types of surgical procedures, with lucid descriptions and vivid, high-resolution images and illustrations to aid comprehension.

Step-By-Step Approach to Endoscopic Cadaveric Dissection:Paranasal Sinuses and the Ventral Skull Base elucidates on Dr Janakiram's "15 Commandments," which are the fundamental surgical principles he and his students follow for endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery. Following these principles makes endonasal endoscopic surgery safe, effective and relatively trouble-free. The unique feature of Dr Janakiram's approach is, as eminent neurosurgeon Dr Roman BoŠnjak explains, positioning his knowledge and experience from his difficult skull base surgery cases into cadaveric dissection lessons. Thus, the most significant aspect of this approach is the learning and message that even experienced surgeons and authors cannot dodge the hard work required in the dissection lab.This book describes the entire spectrum of endonasal endoscopic sinus and ventral skull base surgeries with the help of lucid descriptions and high-resolution images, illustrations, and videos. It is a complete compilation of the author's surgical principles and techniques, described to the finest details. The images and videos are prepared from cadaveric dissections performed by the author himself, thus adding great value to the explanations.Salient features: Systematic organization of the content on a wide range of topics and endoscopic procedures, beginning with instrumentation and basic procedures, leading to complex skull base approachesDetailed and easy-to-understand descriptions with high-resolution images to help comprehension by familiarizing the readers with endonasal endoscopic anatomy and endonasal endoscopic surgical approachesFifteen explanatory dissection videos with voiceover by Dr Janakiram himself for thorough understandingThis book will serve as an indispensable practical guide for rhinologists and skull base surgeons performing endonasal endoscopic surgery across a wide range of surgical expertise.

Atlas of Sellar, Suprasellar, and Parasellar Lesions, encompassing both transcranial and transsphenoidal routes, recounts the high points and advances that have made minimally invasive approaches to these complex regions possible, as well as their relative indications and technical nuances. Familiarity with the techniques, the indications, and the surgical anatomy for each procedure will allow the surgeon to tailor the operation according to the approach best suited for each patient.Salient Features An expert, authoritative, international team of authors provides surgical insight and guidance through pearls of wisdom from their career-long experiencesDetailed, step-by-step videos of operative procedures highlight potential technical and anatomical hazards of the lesionsRichly illustrated with hundreds of outstanding endoscopic images and corresponding drawings; this atlas successfully covers the latest techniques for skull base surgeryFrom anatomical orientation to diagnosis and evidence-based procedures, complication avoidance, and postoperative management, this book covers a wide gamut of topics that skull base surgeons face in everyday practiceThis book provides information on patient selection, choice of operative approach, special needs for minimally invasive procedures, and early diagnosis and treatment of complications after surgeryNarayanan Janakiram, MS, DLO, is the Managing Director of Royal Pearl Hospital, Tiruchirapalli, Tamil Nadu, India. He is a visiting consultant at multiple foreign universities for training young surgeons in endoscopic advanced skull base tumor resections. He is involved in research projects and publishing journals and books to share his vast experience in endoscopic excision of challenging lesions such as craniopharyngioma and cavernous sinus tumors. Internationally sought-after for his unparalleled surgical skills in lesions of the skull base and the internal carotid artery, Dr Janakiram is committed to providing creditworthy education in skull base surgeries in more than 40 countries with the integration of advanced multimedia technology, live procedures, orations, lectures, and web telecasts. As a leading specialist in Neuroendoscopy in the Asia Pacific region, his objective is to improve patient care globally.
