Reviews

“This case-based surgical atlas for neurotology and lateral skull base surgery employs not only illustrations, but also intraoperative photos showing the steps. … The audience includes otolaryngology residents, neurotologists, and neurotology fellows, as well as neurosurgeons who collaborate with neurotologists in a team-based approach to manage patients with these tumors. … This is a great addition. The unique perspectives of the actual cases make the book different and a worthy contribution to the otolaryngology literature.” (Alan G. Micco, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2016)
