EDUCATIONAL IMAGES

For two years artist Chris Gralapp and Robert K. Jackler, MD, Sewall Professor and Chair of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine, worked on illustrating an atlas of otological surgery to compliment their earlier skull base/neurotology atlas. 189 illustrations of stapes surgery has now been uploaded to the Stanford website. The individual images can be viewed or the entire group downloaded as a 59 MB powerpoint. Please feel free to use these illustrations for educational purposes.
