Featuring more than 800 intraoperative photographs and diagnostic images as well as more than 500 finely detailed color surgical drawings, this Operative Atlas of Meningiomas provides site-specific, type-specific coverage of current approaches to surgical excision and resection. Major sections of the book cover meningiomas of the anterior cranial base, middle cranial base, posterior cranial base, craniovertebral junction, and cranial vault. Each section is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the issues and considerations that influence surgical planning for specific meningiomas. The second part describes and illustrates operative techniques. The third part offers tips for improving surgical results and alerts the surgeon to potential pitfalls.
