Nobutaka Yoshioka – författare

Nobutaka Yoshioka, MD, PhD and Albert L. Rhoton Jr., MD have created an anatomical atlas of astounding precision. An unparalleled teaching tool, this atlas opens a unique window into the anatomical intricacies of complex facial nerves and related structures.

An internationally renowned author, educator, brain anatomist, and neurosurgeon, Dr. Rhoton is regarded by colleagues as one of the fathers of modern microscopic neurosurgery. Dr. Yoshioka, an esteemed craniofacial reconstructive surgeon in Japan, mastered this precise dissection technique while undertaking a fellowship at Dr. Rhoton''s microanatomy lab, writing in the preface that within such precision images lies potential for surgical innovation.

Special Features:

Organized by region, each layered dissection elucidates specific nerves and structures with pinpoint accuracy, providing the clinician with in-depth anatomical insights. Precise clinical explanations accompany each photograph. In tandem, the images and text provide an excellent foundation for understanding the nerves and structures impacted by neurosurgical-related pathologies as well as other conditions and injuries.

An exceptionally stunning anatomical reference, this book is a must-have reference for residents, and advanced clinicians specializing in neurosurgery, facial plastic surgery, otolaryngology, maxillofacial surgery, and craniofacial surgery.

The second edition of the esteemed atlas provides an in-depth exploration of craniofacial anatomy, enhanced by images of real cadavers that vividly depict the details of human anatomy. Updated content includes a detailed examination of the intratemporal facial nerve, the extraparotid peripheral branches, and their innervation of the mimetic muscles. Delving into the nuances of the intracranial region, skull anatomy, and the complexities of the upper and lower facial regions, this edition captures every detail with stunning clarity.  

Organized by region for comprehensive learning, each dissection reveals an intricate network of nerves and structures with accuracy. Supported by precise clinical explanations, the book offers profound insights into neurosurgical-related pathologies and beyond. From mimetic muscle myectomy and neurectomy to nerve transfer for facial paralysis, readers will find the knowledge within these pages indispensable for performing precise and safe procedures on the face.  

Beneficial across various medical specialties including plastic surgery, otolaryngology, neurosurgery, and craniofacial surgery, this atlas is essential for physicians seeking a comprehensive understanding of craniofacial anatomy. Physiotherapists and practitioners of chemodenervation therapy will also discover invaluable insights within this volume.
