Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) Books

Book SynopsisDespite meticulous attention to details and expert technique, complications resulting from rhinologic procedures can occur during one's professional career. This book discusses real-life complications and why these unfortunate events occur, as well as how best to manage the consequent issues. The text also provides thoughtful strategies to prevent such situations going forward. The book is organized as a series of case-based chapters, each illustrating a complication involving the orbit, the skull base, unexpected bleeding, poor healing, or those relating to intraoperative decision making, and how each was managed by the authors. Each chapter begins with bullet points highlighting key clinical pearls illustrated by that particular case. Written by leaders in the field with decades of experience in sino-nasal procedures, the analysis complements expert opinions with evidence-based published literature and shares experiences related to the most current techniques, devices, and instrumentation. Every otolaryngologist practicing rhinologic procedures will appreciate the candid nature of the discussion and will find enrichment in this shared wisdom. Lessons Learned from Rhinologic Procedure Complications: A Case-Based Review serves practitioners of general otolaryngology as well as resident trainees in this field, explaining how best to identify, diagnose, and resolve a complication during rhinology procedures.Table of ContentsSection I: The Orbit.- Simple Orbitotomy.- Orbital Hematoma: Acute.- Orbital Hematoma: Delayed.- Extraoccular Muscle Injury.- Silent Sinus Syndrome.- Section II: The Skull Base.- CSF Leak in the Ethmoid.- CSF Leak in the Sphenoid/Stella- CSF Lean in an Unusual Location.- Pneumocephalus.- Intracranial Injury.- Section III: Surgical Bleeding: Generalized Bleeding.- Sphenopalatine Artery.- Anterior Ethmoid Artery.- Carotid Artery Injury.- The Anticoagulated Patient.- Section IV: Surgical Healing.- Synechiae.- Ostial Stenosis.- Middle Turbinate Lateralization.- Intraoperative Decision Making.- I should Have Used Packing/Stent.- I Shouldn't have Put that In.- I Could Have Done Better with Navigation.- I Shouldn't Have Relied on Navigation.

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 SynopsisThis textbook includes the latest knowledge and advances for a comprehensive range of disorders, including the management of benign and malignant sinonasal tumours. Rhinology is now a fully established and highly popular specialist field that has undergone a major paradigm shift over recent decades. This progressive change has been possible because of the synchronous developments in technology, radiology, therapeutics and pharmacology. These advances have changed clinical practice in every dimension, and this has led to a truly global exponential rise in specialist rhinological interest into the management of sinonasal disorders.Contemporary Rhinology: Science and Practice opens with the basic science of rhinology, with chapters that build an understanding of the nose and sinuses. Chapters cover embryology, anatomy, physiology, immunology, sleep disorders, and more. From there, clinical assessment of the nose and sinuses is discussed. The following sections cover pediatric sinonasal disorders and inflammatory sinus disorders, such as pediatric rhinosinusitis, pediatric nasal deformity, allergic and non-allergic rhinitis, and fungal sinus disease. Following these are several chapters discussing tumors and sinus and skull base surgery. The textbook closes with coverage of a variety of smaller topics, such as epistaxis, trauma to the nose and paranasal sinuses, and nasal obstructions. The textbook features outstanding illustrations, video clips, and key points to enhance understanding and recall.This textbook’s balance of applied science and clinical practicality makes is an ideal resource for anyone from trainee surgeons to established specialists in rhinology.Trade Review“This book deserves a place among the useful and strong texts in rhinology – it provides enough comprehensive information for the trainees all the way to complementing the practice of tertiary university teaching hospital rhinologists. The proportion of contributors from the UK also makes it an appropriate text to refer to for both the FRCS examination and beyond.” (R Gohil, The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, November 1, 2023)Table of ContentsPreface.- Part I: The Basic Science of Rhinology: Understanding the Nose and Sinuses.- Ch 1: Embryology of the nose and paranasal sinuses.- Ch 2: Applied anatomy of the nose and paranasal sinuses.- Ch 3:Physiology of the nose and paranasal sinuses: Nasal Air Flow.- Ch 4:Physiology of the nose and paranasal sinuses: Mucociliary clearance.- Ch 5:Immunology and the nose and paranasal sinuses.- Ch 6:Allergy and the nose.- Ch 7:Genetics and Disorders of the nose and sinuses.- Ch 8:The current concepts of Biofilms and Superantigens.- Ch 9:Bacteria, viruses and fungi in healthy and diseased paranasal sinuses.- Ch 10:Sleep disorders and the nose.

Book SynopsisThis book describes the theoretical background of the different forms of tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and detailed knowledge of state-of-the-art treatments of tinnitus. Tinnitus has many forms, and the severity ranges widely from being non-problematic to severely affecting a person's daily life. How loud the tinnitus is perceived does not directly relate to how much it distresses the patient. Thus, even tinnitus very close to the hearing threshold can be a disabling symptom. It can reduce the quality of life by generating anxiety and concentration problems, impairing the ability to do intellectual work, making it difficult to sleep, causing depression and sometimes even leading to suicide. Textbook of Tinnitus has filled a void by providing a comprehensive overview about the different forms of tinnitus, their pathophysiology and their treatment. However, since the publication of the first edition of the Textbook of Tinnitus in 2011, tinnitus research has dramaticallyevolved. In view of the substantial increase in knowledge, most chapters in this second edition are newly written and a few original chapters have had major updates. This edition has nine sections, covering the basics of tinnitus, the neurobiology of tinnitus, pathophysiological models, animal research, diagnosis and assessment, various forms of management and treatment, and finally, a look at the future of tinnitus and tinnitus research. The book will be of great interest to otolaryngologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, neurosurgeons, primary care clinicians, audiologists and psychologists, and students. Because of its organization and its extensive subject index,Textbook of Tinnitus, Second Editioncan also serve as a reference for clinicians who do not treat tinnitus patients routinely.

Book SynopsisThis book provides a practical, evidence-based approach to controversies in the management of thyroid nodules and differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Thyroid nodules are a commonly encountered clinical entity, identified in 2-6% of the population by palpation, and 20-35% by ultrasound. DTC is the solid organ cancer with the most rapidly increasing incidence (>50,000 new cases in the U.S. annually). Despite extensive research and multiple published comprehensive practice guidelines, numerous controversies remain within this field covering a wide range of issues, including incidence and epidemiology, radiographic evaluation, criteria for needle biopsy, cytopathologic and molecular diagnostics, active surveillance vs. operation for low-risk tumors, extent of surgery, indications for radioactive iodine treatment and external beam radiation, and optimal protocols for follow-up. The book takes a case-based approach: each chapter will begin with a patient presentation highlighting a particular controversial subject in thyroid nodules and DTC. The remainder of the chapter discusses the controversy within the context of current scientific understanding and clinical practice, using the latest evidence-based practice guidelines. Chapters conclude with a final review and discussion of the opening case, with options and recommendations for next steps provided. The recommendations are evidence-based and practical, intended to help guide practitioners in their ongoing care of patients with thyroid nodules and DTC. Each chapter was written by a recognized expert in the area of controversy, including endocrine surgeons, endocrinologists, radiologists, medical oncologists, and nuclear medicine specialists. Controversies in Thyroid Nodules and Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: A Case-Based Approach is an excellent guide for oncologists, endocrinologists, otorhinolaryngologists, surgeons, and practitioners of all types that care for patients with thyroid nodules and DTC.Table of ContentsChapter 01: Incidence and Epidemiology of Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: Is thyroid cancer incidence truly increasing, or is it simply a finder effect?Chapter 02: Criteria for Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy in Thyroid NodulesChapter 03: Preoperative Molecular Testing for Indeterminate Thyroid NodulesChapter 04: Active Surveillance of Low-Risk Differentiated Thyroid CancerChapter 05: Preoperative Laryngoscopy in Thyroid Surgery PatientsChapter 06: Radiofrequency Ablation for Thyroid NodulesChapter 07: Management of low-risk papillary thyroid cancer in a patient with familial non-medullary thyroid cancer Chapter 08: Intraoperative Nerve Monitoring in Thyroid OperationsChapter 09: Extent of Surgery for Low-Risk Papillary Thyroid CancerChapter 10: Surgical Management of Locally Advanced Thyroid Cancer with Tracheal InvasionChapter 11: Management of Central Neck Nodes in Papillary Thyroid CancerChapter 12: Impact of Surgeon Volume in Thyroid OperationsChapter 13: Intraoperative/Postoperative Calcium Management in ThyroidectomyChapter 14: Indications for Radioactive Iodine Therapy in Thyroid Cancer PatientsChapter 15: Recurrent Nodal Metastases of Papillary Thyroid CancerChapter 16: Management of Non-Invasive Follicular Thyroid Neoplasm with Papillary-Like Features (NIFT-P)Chapter 17: Timing of long-term post-operative surveillance for low-risk differentiated thyroid cancerChapter 18: External-Beam Radiation for Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer – Is There a Role?

Book SynopsisThis textbook presents a broad approach to otitis media ranging from the basic to the advanced, and comprehensively reviews the diagnosis, treatment, management, and complications of patients with infections of the middle ear (OM). It has been proven that children whose hearing has been affected by otitis media suffer academically. Since their hearing is impaired, their scholastic performance deteriorates, leading to multiple health and social problems. This in turn has a cascading effect on the child's ability to perform and cope. Quite often these problems are silent and go unrecognized and misdiagnosed.

Book SynopsisRefinements in the neurosurgical armamentarium continue to push the borders of neurosurgery forward. Lesions considered inoperable a few years ago can now be resected, especially in the region of the skull base. These new developments, plus rapid technological innovations in microneurosurgery, have dramatically altered the scope of modern neurosurgery. Now, with Volume 2 of the acclaimed Color Atlas of Microneurosurgery, the distinguished authors provide detailed descriptions of surgical anatomy and the major neurosurgical approaches to cerebrovascular lesions. You will find coverage of aneurysms, arteriovenuous malformations, cerebrovascular malformations, and vascular compression – all derived from a wide range of etiologies. Divided into three sections on anatomy, surgical approaches, and underlying pathology, the book demonstrates the most innovative new techniques, procedures and approaches as performed in hundreds of clinical cases. The result is the most detailed and comprehensive microneurosurgical atlas ever compiled, an ideal reference for practicing neurosurgeons and residents–in–training.Table of Contents1 Anatomy 2 Approaches 3 Aneurysms of the Brain 4 Arteriovenous Malformations of the Brain 5 Cavernous Malformations of the Brain 6 Vascular Compression

Book SynopsisEndoscopy is firmly established as a major technology for investigation and therapy in a wide range of disciplines. The field of otolaryngology or head and neck surgery owes its existence to the very special difficulties of examining the dark recesses of the head and neck. Therefore, this field has been at the forefront of developing endoscopic techniques for use in this anatomic area. While rhinologists have been quick to embrace the endoscope in the management of sinus disorders, otologists and skull base surgeons have been less than enthusiastic despite the vast range of possible applications in this area. In this book the authors consider the new field of application of endoscope technology in neuro-otology and skull base surgery. Dr. Sanna is part of The Grupppo Otologico, a world-renowned specialist center for the diagnosis and medical and surgical treatment of diseases of the ear, skull base, facial nerve, head and neck, and paranasal sinuses.

Book SynopsisA key problem-solving reference on revision rhinoplasty and reconstructive surgery of the nose Written by a team of expert rhinoplasty and reconstructive surgeons, this practical reference and casebook offers guidelines and step-by-step instructions for dealing with the many minor and major problems that arise in revision rhinoplasty and reconstructive surgery of the nose. Divided into two parts, The Nose - Revision and Reconstruction first describes and discusses the principles and practice of these types of surgery. In the second part, 59 carefully selected cases are presented to the reader with the various surgical problems that can be expected. Revision cases are analyzed and demonstrated in a range of common and rare presentations in patients who had previous functional and aesthetic surgery, and reconstructive surgery for nasal defects or after trauma and tumor resections. This reference also addresses issues relating to psychosomatic problems, psychology, body dysmorphic disorder, patient selection and contraindications, the timing of revision surgery, and specific processes in wound healing. The concepts of septorhinoplasty in various stages of life are also discussed, as they deal with general principles that are essential in any rhinoplasty but are particularly important in revision surgery. The express goal of this book is to steer clear of current trends. Thus, it covers the gamut of closed, open, and endoscopic approaches and all graft and suture techniques, employing the full armamentarium of surgical techniques. The book also aims to improve the reader's skills in preoperative analysis and planning so that typical mistakes can be avoided and the best possible results are achieved the first time. In this sense, the book follows the classic principle of learning from mistakes so that they will not be repeated.Table of ContentsSection I 1 Revision Rhinoplasty—An Introduction 2 Basic Rules for Revision Rhinoplasties 3 Psychological Evaluation 4 Complications and Risks 5 Reference Points in Aesthetic Facial Surgery: Part Mathematics, Part Intuition 6 Septorhinoplasty in Different Age Groups 7 Identity and Aesthetics: Ethnic Aspects of Rhinoplasty 8 The Nose As an Aerodynamic Body 9 Evaluation and Analysis 10 Tissue Replacement in the Nose 11 Principles of Nasal Implantology 12 Lateral Osteotomies 13 Sutures and Structural Grafts in Secondary Nasal Tip Surgery Section II 14 Approaches to the Nasal Tip and Dorsum 15 Revision Septoplasty 16 Complexity of Events 17 Polly Beak Deformity 18 Problems with the Nasal Dorsum 19 Deviation of the Nasal Dorsum 20 Multiple Nasal Injuries 21 Nasal Refinement with Minimal Changes 22 Functional Tension Nose and the Overprojected Nose 23 Problems Involving the Nasal Vestibule 24 Saddle Nose after Septoplasty or Trauma 25 Augmentation of the Nasal Dorsum 26 Over- and Underresection of the Alar Cartilages 27 The Nasal Tip 28 Reconstruction of Tissue Loss: Columella and Nasal Tip 29 Rhinoplasty after Tumor Surgery 30 Rhinoplasty in Patients with Systemic Diseases 31 Paraffinomas (Lipogranulomas) 32 Rhinoplasty after Cleft Lip Repair 33 Iatrogenic Overresection of the Nasal Framework 34 Reconstructive Surgery Appendix

Book SynopsisHighly Commended by the BMA Medical Book Awards for Surgical Specialties! Ear, nose, and throat diseases present and progress very differently in children than in adults, needing different diagnostic and treatment strategies. Training in the subspecialty of pediatric otolaryngology is often part of a general ENT program and not a program in itself. As such, the general otolaryngologist may be insufficiently prepared to handle certain pediatric cases. R. W. Clarke's Pediatric Otolaryngology: Practical Clinical Management aims to provide the pediatric ENT resident or fellow, as well as the general ENT practitioner, with sound clinical guidance on ENT pathologies as they affect the pediatric population. Key Features: Fully describes the characteristics of ENT diseases in children, as opposed to only describing how the disorders differ from their presentations in adults International cast of expert contributors Practice based, for the clinician Comprehensive accounts of hearing loss in children, often poorly covered in standard texts Text boxes orient the reader to "danger signs," "top tips" in surgery, advice regarding potential complications, situations that need urgent referral, and medicolegal pitfalls Pediatric Otolaryngology is an essential reference of this important subspecialty for ENT doctors in practice, as well as in preparation for board examinations.Trade ReviewThe early chapters offer some absolute gems of wisdom, and the later chapters are bursting with all the facts necessary for higher exams such as the FRCS (ORL-HNS). -- ENT and Audiology News The language is clear, and practical notes for outpatient care are quite helpful...The key points, figures, images, tables, and references, are all well-chosen, clear and concise. -- International Journal of Pediatric OtorhinolaryngologyTable of ContentsPart I: General Considerations in Children's ENT 1.
