From the book reviews:

"This is a well illustrated atlas on trigeminal, occipital, maxillary, and other head and neck nerve surgeries. ... Most of the book is devoted to pathology, surgery, and postoperative management of the trigeminal nerve and its various branches. It would be of great benefit to dentists, oromaxillofacial surgeons, ENT specialists, neurosurgeons and those with an interest in surgery in these areas. ... I have no reservation in recommending this book to residents, students, fellows, and experienced surgeons whatsoever." (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, March, 2015)
