Features: This book consists of 18 chapters. The first half discusses the microscopic anatomy of the sellar region, while the second half covers surgical treatment for sellar region-related diseases. In the microscopic anatomy section of the sellar region, the structures, subarachnoid cisterns, and surgical spaces of the sellar region are introduced in order, systematically explaining 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 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, further guiding clinical practice. The surgical treatment section for sellar region-related diseases first introduces the symptomatology of sellar lesions, surgical anatomy and techniques of common approaches, perioperative evaluation, treatment strategies, and preventive measures for surgical complications. It then discusses corresponding microscopic surgical procedures, endoscopic treatments, and radiosurgical techniques in the order of pituitary adenomas, craniopharyngiomas, meningiomas, cavernous sinus tumors, upper clivus tumors, aneurysms, cystic lesions, traumatic optic neuropathy, and empty sella. The book explores and discusses the identification and management of anatomical structures during surgery. The text is concise, the content is novel, and it is accompanied by over 500 illustrations for reference. It serves as an excellent reference and textbook for neurosurgeons, residents, and graduate students. It can also be used as a reference for neurologists, otolaryngologists, anatomical instructors, and medical students in higher education institutions.
