The definitive state-of-the-art resource on pediatric endoscopic endonasal approaches
Today, expanded endonasal approaches (EEA) have revolutionized the surgical treatment paradigm for pediatric central skull base lesions. Specially adapted micro-instruments have been developed to permit passage through the narrow sinonasal pathways in children, enabling access to the entire midline skull base, from the crista galli to the cervico-medullary junction.
Pediatric Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery by Harminder Singh, Jeffrey Greenfield, Vijay Anand, and Theodore Schwartz is the first textbook focused solely on endoscopic endonasal management of cranial base pathologies in children. The book reflects in-depth expertise from an extraordinary group of international

There is a general trend in surgical specialties to complement or substitute open surgical procedures with less invasive techniques. Most of these techniques originate from urology. This book describes the implementation of new technologies in the spectrum of urological therapies. New developments in shockwave technology and endoscopic devices and their consequences for stone treatment are discussed, as well as the impact of the improvements in new energy sources such as laser and highly intensive focused ultrasound in uro-oncology and BPH treatment. To complete the content of this book, a separate chapter for laparoscopy shows the possibilities and limitations of this newest technique for less invasive surgical interventions.
