Oral and maxillofacial surgery Books

Book SynopsisThe FRCS Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) exam is split into three parts: written, viva and mock clinical consultations with an examiner and an actor in the role of a patient. These consultations fall into two formats: ‘short case’, where the examiner poses questions specific to the patient’s case, and ‘long case’ where the candidate must diagnose the patient’s presenting problem and suggest an appropriate course of treatment. FRCS (Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery) Part 2: 100 Clinical Cases focuses on the clinical component of the exam and is structured according the FRCS OMFS syllabus. Each chapter starts with cases devoted to examination of the patient, history taking and investigations. Subsequent cases feature ‘short case’ clinical scenarios commonly encountered in the exam. Where relevant to exam practice, a ‘long case’ is included at the end of each chapter. The ‘short cases’ feature mock questions, while the ‘long cases’ also include an examiner’s mark sheet listing the answers and actions candidates must perform to achieve full marks.

Book SynopsisThis book serves as an anatomic atlas of the nerves that innervate the joints of the human body in a format that also provides technical insight into pathways that both interventional pain management and surgical subspecialists can use to denervate those painful joints when traditional approaches to manage the pain are no longer successful. This book avails the knowledge of how denervation can relieve joint pain available to the many groups of physicians who care for this problem. Each chapter is devoted to a joint and reviews the neural anatomy as it relates to the clinical examination of the patient. Chapters are user friendly and provide details on the indicated nerve blocks and the clinical results of partial joint denervation. Clinical case studies also serve as a helpful guide in each chapter. Extensive intra-operative clinical photographs and photographs from new prosections provide examples to guide those physicians providing care to the patients with joint pain. Joint Denervation: Anatomic Atlas of Surgical Technique should be of interest to surgical subspecialists from Neurosurgery, Plastic Surgery, Hand Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, Podiatric Foot & Ankle Surgery, and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons. It may also interest those physicians trained in Anesthesia, Radiology, and Physical & Rehabilitation Medicine for their evaluation and treatment protocols using hydrodissection, cryoablation and pulsed radiofrequency approaches to pain.Trade Review“This textbook will serve as the gold standard for 2D anatomy. It will supplement anatomical studies by leaders, including Anne Agur, PhD, displaying 3D complex anatomy using Augmented Reality; these educational tools are being applied to image-guided percutaneous techniques for nerve blocks and radiofrequency ablations.” (Robert J. Spinner, Neurosurgery, Vol. 86 (1), 2020)“This book would be of interest to neurosurgeons and plastic, hand, orthopedic, foot and ankle, and oral/maxillofacial surgeons. It is conceivable that surgical specialists will take notice of this approach and integrate it into their practice. Most likely, this material also will be of interest to myriad pain specialists who will then adapt it to nonsurgical interventional alternatives to operative procedures.” (Konstantin V. Slavin, Doody's Book Reviews, September 06, 2019)Table of ContentsHistorical Perspective on Joint Denervation.- Proprioception and Charcot Joint.- Central Wrist Denervation.- Radial Wrist Denervation.- Ulnar Wrist Denervation.- Lateral Elbow (Tennis Elbow) Denervation.- Medial Elbow (Pitcher’s and Golfer’s Elbow) Denervation.- Shoulder Denervation.- Hand Denervation.- Knee Denervation.- Lateral Ankle (Sinus Tarsi) Denervation.- Medial Ankle Denervation.- Foot Denervation.- Hip Denervation.- TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) Denervation.

Book SynopsisThis book is the outcome of a fruitful, long-standing cooperation between expert radiologists and clinicians, and explains the most relevant features and technical requirements that are needed to optimally conduct and assess MR examinations for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pathologies. TMJ conditions are increasingly gaining attention, as the underlying diseases involved can vary considerably and be difficult to diagnose. Similarly, several imaging sub-specialties (e.g. dental radiology, neuroradiology, and musculoskeletal radiology) now find themselves dealing with the temporomandibular joints. The authors provide essential information on TMJ anatomy, dynamics, function and dysfunction. Correlations between clinical aspects and MRI findings are discussed and guidance for the correct interpretation of results is offered. Special findings that are helpful for differential diagnosis (arthritis, osteochondroma, synovial chondromatosis) are also examined. Given its extensive and varied coverage, the book offers a valuable asset for radiologists, dentists, gnathologists, maxillofacial surgeons, orthodontists and other professionals seeking a thorough overview of the subjectTable of ContentsTMJ Magnetic Resonance: Technical Considerations:Principle of Physics of Magnetic Resonance Imaging TMJ.- Coils and sequences of TMJ MRI TMJ anatomy.- Normal MRI anatomy of TMJ.- TMJ dynamics.- Most common temporo-mandibular disorders:disc displacement with and without reduction hypermobility/hypomobility.- Osteoarthritis (deviations in form).- Arthritis (psoriasic,etc).- Idiopathic condylar reabsorption.- Special findings.

Book SynopsisThe book provides a framework for diagnosis and treatment of the complex facial deformities found in craniofacial microsomia and Treacher Collins syndrome. These conditions are difficult to treat due to their complexity and variable presentation. The deformities may be mild or severe and merely cosmetic to life-threatening in nature. These conditions often manifest as complex facial deformities that require multiple surgical interventions. Timing is critical when treating these patients and knowing and choosing the correct operation is key to successful outcomes. This work provides a comprehensive approach in treating these complex patient populations, seeking to answer the following questions: When to operate versus when to wait? If operating is required what operation should be performed? What is the best orthodontic approach to the associated dental deformities that develop with these conditions? How should sleep apnea be evaluated and treated in this population? What is the best management for feeding patients with these conditions? Written by experts in the field, Craniofacial Microsomia and Treacher Collins Syndrome: Comprehensive Treatment of Associated Facial Deformities aims to provide the reader with literature based best practices in treating these children from the NICU through childhood and into adulthood.Table of ContentsEtiology and Anatomical Variance in Craniofacial Microsomia Initial Evaluation of a Patient with Craniofacial MicrosomiaA look at Breathing, Feeding/Swallowing, and Speech Impairment in Patients with Craniofacial MicrosomiaExtracraniofacial Manifestations of Craniofacial MicrosomiaManagement of the Mandibular Deformity in the Growing Patient With Craniofacial MicrosomiaSurgical Management of Hemifacial Microsomia With Temporomandibular Joint MalformationDefinitive Reconstruction of Associated Maxillomandibular Deformities in Craniofacial MicrosomiaOrthodontic Considerations in the Craniofacial Microsomia PatientsManagement of Hearing Loss in Patients with Treacher-Collins Syndrome and Hemifacial MicrosomiaMicrotia Reconstruction in Patients with Craniofacial MicrosomiaCorrection of the Soft Tissue Deformities Associated with Craniofacial Microsomia: Facial Reanimation and Soft Tissue Grafting TechniquesAn Overview of Treatment and Recommendations for the Craniofacial Microsomia PatientEtiology and Anatomical Variation in Treacher Collins SyndromeInitial Evaluation of a Patient with Treacher Collins Syndrome.A look at Breathing, Feeding, and Speech Problems in Patients with Treacher Collins SyndromeAssociated Systemic Health Conditions: Associated with Treacher Collins SyndromeOphthalmologic Findings and Reconstruction of Soft Tissue Orbital Deformities: Coloboma and Lid DeformitiesCorrection of Orbital Zygomatic Deformities in the Treacher Collins PatientManagement of the Mandibular Deformity in Growing Patients with Treacher Collins SyndromeTMJ Total Joint Prosthesis in Treacher Col-lins Syndrome and Hemifacial MicrosomiaDefinitive Correction of Associated Maxillomandibular Deformities in Treacher Collins SyndromePrinciples of Orthodontic Management of Treacher Collins SyndromeHearing loss and aural rehabilitation in patients with Treacher Collins SyndromeReconstruction of the Ear Deformities Associated with Treacher Collins SyndromeRhinoplasty in Patients with Treacher Collins SyndromeAn Overview of Treatment Recommendations for the Treacher Collins Syndrome Patient

Book SynopsisSurgical pathologists play a central role in patient surveillance and treatment by surgeons, radiation oncologists, and medical oncologists. Although salivary gland tumors are uncommon overall, their histopathologic diversity and challenge command the attention of practicing surgical pathologists. Atlas of Salivary Gland Pathology focuses on the diagnostic approach to salivary gland neoplasia—one of the more challenging fields within surgical pathology—emphasizing the need to understand downstream implications with respect to patient surveillance and treatment. The presence of formidable histologic mimicry in salivary gland neoplasia is well-documented in the pathology literature and has also been observed in the consultation practice of the volume editor. This textbook is designed with the needs of practicing surgical pathologists and pathologists-in-training in mind, providing a comprehensive overview of both common and rare salivary gland neoplasms. The primary educational objectives for readers include the following: 1) distinguish benign from low-grade malignant salivary gland neoplasms, 2) effectively use histochemical, immunohistochemical, and cytogenetic studies in challenging cases, 3) understand which diagnoses merit additional surgery and/or adjuvant therapy (radiation, chemotherapy), and 4) enhance pathologist-to-clinician communication in the setting of salivary gland disease.Table of ContentsGross Anatomy.- Microscopic Anatomy.- Intraoperative Examination.- Gross Examination.- Microscopic Examination.- Acinic Cell Carcinoma.- Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma.- Basal Cell Adenoma.- Basal Cell Adenocarcinoma.- Canalicular Adenoma.- Carcinosarcoma.- Clear Cell Carcinoma.- Epithelial-Myoepithelial Carcinoma.- Intraductal Carcinoma.- Lymphadenoma.- Lymphoepithelial Carcinoma.- Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma.- Myoepithelioma.- Myoepithelial Carcinoma.- Oncocytoma.- Oncocytic Carcinoma.- Pleomorphic Adenoma.- Pleomorphic Adenoma, Carcinoma Ex.- Polymorphous Adenocarcinoma.- Salivary Duct Carcinoma.- Secretory Carcinoma.- Small Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma.- Warthin’s Tumor.

Book SynopsisThis atlas is unique in comparing the two disciplines of dental implant surgery and tooth-preserving surgery with respect to common procedures, problems, and failures and in providing excellent guidance on the prevention and management of complications. The etiology of a wide variety of implant-related and non-implant-related complications and failures is carefully explained. Since many complications have their roots in oral and periodontal surgical maneuvers, these maneuvers are themselves discussed and extensively illustrated. The most frequently used tooth preservation procedures are also fully described, with emphasis on correct surgical technique as a means to avoid complications. The use of these procedures is constantly weighed against the effects of tooth removal and insertion of dental implants. The text is complemented by the inclusion of a substantial number of helpful references. While the atlas is intended primarily for dentists involved in outpatient implant dentistry and oral surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgeons will also find the descriptions of innovative techniques or maneuvers to be of interest, including those relating to the selection of incision and flap design and the sinus floor elevation techniques.Table of ContentsEtiology of Complications and Failures.- Common Measures and Obstacles Related to Dental Implant and Teeth Preserving Surgery.- Teeth Preserving Surgical Procedures Revisited: Apicoectomy.- Cystectomy.- Replantation and Transplantation of Teeth.- Periodontal Surgery.- Endo-Perio Surgery.- Mucogingival Surgery.- Vestibuloplasty.- Orthodontic Surgery.- Complications and Failures Related to Implant Dentistry – Etiology, Management and Prevention: Implant Related.- Non-Implant Related.- Explantation Techniques.- Prosthetic Complications.- Hints and Tips for Avoiding Complications: General Considerations.- Avoiding Dental Implant Complications.- Avoiding Teeth Preserving Surgery Complications.​

Book SynopsisThis book provides a comprehensive overview of dislocation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), covering all relevant aspects, from aetiology and diagnosis to management. The treatment-oriented chapters describe nonsurgical, surgical and arthroscopic interventions, and the book closes by examining the role of total alloplastic reconstruction of the TMJ in patients with chronic jaw joint dislocation. Each chapter commences with a summary of key points and the clearly written text is supported by numerous clinical photographs, as well as by videos to which the reader will have online access. All of the authors are recognized experts in the topics that they discuss. Dislocation of the TMJ constitutes a medical emergency since prompt treatment is required in order to prevent the harmful sequelae that may arise once spasm of the muscles of mastication has become established, preventing return of the condyle into the glenoid fossa. If the condition is left untreated, radical corrective surgery may be required to restore jaw function and eliminate pain. In presenting state of the art knowledge on TMJ dislocation, this book will be of value for all involved in the management of the condition.Trade Review“The book is an update of the problematic cases of dislocation of the temporomandibular joint, constituting a useful source of information for both the general dentist and the OMF surgeon.” (Stomatology EDU Journal, Vol. 6 (4), 2019)“The book would be useful for general practitioners who manage patients with TMJ dislocations, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and oral surgery residents. … This is a good quality book that is easy to navigate and well organized. At only 119 pages, it can be used as a chairside reference.” (Janet H. Southerland, Doody's Book Reviews, December 07, 2018)​Table of ContentsIntroduction – Etiology, Presentation & Diagnosis.- Imaging of the TMJ.- Acute TMJ Dislocation & Technique of Manual Reduction.- Chronic TMJ Dislocation.- Conservative Management.- Surgical Management – Clearing the Path.- Surgical Management – Obstructing the Path.- Arthroscopic Management.- Role of Total Joint Replacement in the Management of TMJ Dislocation.

Book SynopsisCleft Lip and Palate: Diagnosis and Management is an unparalleled review of treatment concepts in all areas of cleft involvement presented by an international team of experienced clinicians. A unique feature of the book is that it largely consists of longitudinal facial and palatal growth studies of dental casts, photographs, panorexes, and cephalographs from birth to adolescence. Throughout the discussion of growth and treatment concepts, the importance of differential diagnosis in treatment planning is underscored. The underlying argument is that all the treatment goals – good speech, facial aesthetics, dental occlusion, and psychological development – may be realized without the need to sacrifice one for another. This updated third edition includes new chapters on further successful physiological treatment protocols, strategies for coping with psychological effects, the excellent clinical work being undertaken in Asia, future multicenter palatal growth studies, and other topics.Table of ContentsFACIAL EMBRYOLOGY AND NEONATAL PALATAL CLEFT MORPHOLOGY.- TYPES OF CLEFTS.- FACIAL GROWTH IN CLEFT PALATE CHILDREN.- AUDIOLOGY/OTOLOGY.- EFFECTS OF SURGERY AND HOW IT WAS UTILIZED.- LIP AND PALATE SURGERY: MILLARD-BERKOWITZ PROTOCOL.- ANOTHER TESTED GOOD SURGICAL PROCEDURE.- FACIAL GROWTH – TIME IS THE PATIENT’S ALLY.- PRESURGICAL ORTHOPEDICS.- MIDFACIAL ORTHODONTIC/ORTHOPEDIC CHANGES.- ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY.- DISTRACTION OSTEOGENESIS.- SPEECH.- THIRD WORLD CLEFT TREATMENT.- PSYCHOLOGICAL/TEAM FUNCTION.- MULTICENTER CLINICAL REPORTS.- RECORDING PATIENT ORTHODONTIC-SURGICAL FINDINGS.- THE PATIENT’S WORLD.

Book SynopsisAndreas Neff zeigt die exzellenten diagnostischen und therapeutischen Optionen der Endoskopie, die für den MKG-Chirurgen bei der komplexen Anatomie der Mund-Kiefer-Gesichtsregion, speziell der Kieferhöhlen und der Nasengänge, des Kiefergelenks, aber auch der Speicheldrüsen heute unverzichtbar ist. Minimalinvasive Darstellung und Zugänge gemäß State of the Art erfordern neben chirurgischem Know-how auch ein spezielles technisches Equipment. Während die Endoskopie in der MKG-Chirurgie meist speziellen Indikationen vorbehalten ist, hat sie insbesondere in der HNO inzwischen einen Großteil der traditionellen direkten bzw. invasiv-offenen Verfahren ersetzt. Auch in der MKG-Chirurgie wird es analog zu ihren Nachbardisziplinen zunehmend zu Paradigmenwechseln in der Behandlungsstrategie kommen, denen sich die MKG-Chirurgie stellen muss, um sich auch in Zukunft auf Augenhöhe weiterentwickeln zu können.Table of ContentsArthroskopie des Kiefergelenks und Chirurgie des Sinus maxillaris.- Endoskopische Speicheldrüsenchirurgie und dentoalvelären Chirurgie.- Endoskopie in der Traumatologie und plastisch-ästhetischen Chirurgie.
