<p><fontcolor="red"><strong><em>An extensively illustrated surgical atlas from pioneers of the technique!</em></strong></font></p><p>In Wolfgang Koos' final work, a lifetime of experience in the surgical treatment of the acoustic neurinoma is presented in the style of the brilliantly successful Koos-Spetzler microneurosurgery series.</p><p>Diagnosis is a strong point of this atlas, as surgical strategies are planned according to the anatomic location and growth pattern of these tumors.</p><p>The preoperative considerations, operating room set-up, patient positioning, and neuronavigational equipment are described for microsurgery in the cerebellopontine angle region.</p><p>The operative techniques for removing acoustic neurinomas in correlation with size and extension of the tumor are then provided in step-by-step detail; intraoperative photographs are paired with explanatory colored line drawings of astonishing clarity.</p><p>Finally, the tumors of the cerebellopontine angle that may mimic acoustic neurinoma are described.</p>
