Features: This book consists of 18 chapters. The first half discusses the microscopic anatomy of the sellar region, while the second half focuses on the surgical treatment of sellar region-related diseases. In the section on the microscopic anatomy of the sellar region, the structures of the sellar region, subarachnoid cisterns, and surgical spaces are presented in order, systematically introducing the morphology, blood supply, physiology, important adjacent relationships, and clinical significance of each structure in diagnosis and surgery. Emphasis is placed on the importance of anatomical variations in surgical procedures. Especially in the sections on surgical spaces, practical microscopic surgical anatomy data is provided to address concerns in surgical approaches. Additionally, these anatomical knowledge is applied to modern imaging interpretation, which further facilitates clinical practice. The section on the surgical treatment of sellar region-related diseases first introduces the symptomatology of sellar region lesions, the surgical anatomy and techniques of common approaches, perioperative evaluation, treatment strategies, and preventive measures for surgical complications. Then, in order of pituitary adenomas, craniopharyngiomas, meningiomas, cavernous sinus tumors, upper clivus tumors, aneurysms, cystic lesions, traumatic optic neuropathy, and empty sella, the corresponding microscopic surgical procedures, endoscopic treatments, and radiosurgical techniques are introduced, along with research and discussion on the identification and management of anatomical structures during surgery. The book is concise in text, novel in content, and accompanied by over 500 illustrations for reference. It serves as an excellent toolbook and reference for neurosurgeons, resident physicians, and graduate students. It can also be used as a reference for neurologists, otolaryngologists, anatomical instructors, and medical students in higher education institutions.
