Springer Nature Switzerland AG Craniofacial Microsomia and Treacher Collins
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?

Springer International Publishing AG Textbook of Tinnitus
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.

Springer International Publishing AG Controversies in Thyroid Nodules and
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?

Springer International Publishing AG Textbook of Otitis Media: The Basics and Beyond
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.

Thieme Publishing Group Endoscopy in Neuro-Otology and Skull Base Surgery
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.

Thieme Publishing Group Pediatric Otolaryngology: Practical Clinical
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.
