This richly illustrated atlas provides comprehensive coverage of the surgical treatment of facial nerve and facial nerve tumours in diseases affecting the temporal bone and lateral skull base.

The surgical treatment and the various operative procedures involved are described step-by-step using colour images of exceptional quality from a collection of over 1700 skull base surgery cases and 18000 middle ear surgery cases.

The expert authors discuss the management of the facial nerve in various pathologies, the facial nerve in cholesteatoma of the Rocca Petrosa, the management of the facial nerve in vestibular schwannomas and meningiomas, and the management of the facial nerve in glomus tumours and middle ear carcinomas.

The opening chapters are devoted to facial nerve anatomy, radiology, operating room preparation and intraoperative facial nerve monitoring, which represent the knowledge required before considering surgery.
Subsequent chapters focus on facial nerve repair and restoration techniques, and provide comprehensive coverage of facial nerve tumours.
