About The Book

Atlas of Facial Nerve Surgeries and Reanimation Procedures by Madhuri Mehta is the culmination of years of dedication and passion for the intricate art of managing facial nerve disorders. This atlas serves as both a guide and a visual reference for understanding the anatomy and functions of the facial nerve, and offers step-by-step guidance for managing facial palsy to achieve the best possible outcomes.

The atlas starts with a detailed exploration of the embryology and anatomy of the facial nerve and progresses to the evaluation of its various lesions and treatment options. The key to this book is its comprehensive coverage of the principles of management of facial nerve disorders, with a heavy emphasis on surgical techniques. The surgical images and diagrams, many of which have been drawn by the author herself, visually simplify the procedural steps involved, making complex techniques more understandable.

This atlas is particularly notable for the inclusion of over 1,000 images and illustrations, which vividly depict preoperative facial palsy, operative steps, and post-surgery recovery. A thorough discussion of Bell’s palsy, which has historically been a controversial topic, is included, along with an in-depth treatment of bilateral facial palsy, a rarely discussed issue, supported by interesting case studies.

A standout feature of this edition is the chapter on the management of the facial nerve during lateral skull base surgery, providing essential techniques and insights. Additionally, a novel technique, the transzygomatic anterior attic approach, is introduced to aid in the decompression of the facial nerve in cases of post-traumatic facial palsy.

This comprehensive guide is an invaluable resource for professionals seeking to deepen their understanding and enhance their surgical skills in the field of facial nerve surgery and reanimation. The book’s detailed illustrations and step-by-step approach provide clarity for both beginners and seasoned practitioners in this specialized field.
