Head and Neck Anatomy: A Clinical Reference

The head and neck is a region especially complex in structure, containing some of the most important organs as well as major nerves and blood vessels. An understanding of local anatomy is fundamental to a wide variety of medical and surgical specialties, many of which have recently evolved some of the most demanding techniques in microsurgery: these include new approaches to the temporomandibular joint, skull base and facial nerve, and the brain itself. With superb full-colour photographs and highly detailed coverage specifically designed to meet the needs of the specialist clinician, this book provides all those with an interest in this field with the most up-to-date and lavishly illustrated reference currently available.
