Edward Laws and Jason Sheehan have edited the first comprehensive guide to the management of the large varieties of pathologies that arise in the sellar and parasellar area. Over the past two decades change in management practices have been underpinned by a better understanding of the nature of the pathology, improved imaging and a refinement of both surgical and radiation therapy techniques. The location of the sellar and parasellar region has challenged neurosurgeons (and radiotherapists) to develop innovative refined approaches to the region, often using the best of skull base, endoscopic and microsurgical techniques. These have been utilized within the context of an improved understanding of the pathology, with the imperative that the treatment (or therapy) must optimize control of the pathology, whilst minimizing morbidity.
This book provides a comprehensive guide to the management of pathologies in the sellar and parasellar area. Over the past two decades, advancements in understanding pathology, imaging, and surgical/radiation techniques have transformed treatment approaches. The unique location of this region has spurred neurosurgeons and radiotherapists to develop innovative, refined techniques, often integrating skull base, endoscopic, and microsurgical methods. The primary objective is to optimize pathology control while minimizing patient morbidity.
This work is presented as a comprehensive guide, reflecting the significant changes in the management of sellar and parasellar pathologies over the last two decades. The text emphasizes the integration of improved pathological understanding, advanced imaging, and refined surgical and radiation therapies. It highlights the innovative approaches developed by specialists to address the challenges posed by this anatomical region. The overarching goal is to balance effective disease control with the minimization of patient harm.
