This volume on skull base surgery is dedicated to the visionary pioneers who had the courage, creativity, and dedication to patients to tackle the problems of the skull base, and to the next generation of skull base surgeons who will continue the cycle of innovation. We are especially indebted to Dr. Eugene N. Myers (series editor) for his unflagging support and mentorship and to Mary Jo Tutchko for her tireless efforts on our behalf. None of this would have been possible without their selfless dedication.
