Description
Book SynopsisEndoscopic techniques have revolutionized many surgical specialties and allowed the gradual development of new, minimally invasive procedures. Otology is no exception. The aim of Endoscopic Ear Surgery is to explore the role of endoscopy in the evolution of otologic surgery, and to introduce the surgeon to basic and advanced endoscopic ear surgery techniques. Rich with color images, the book also serves as an atlas of temporal bone anatomy and pathologic processes as seen through an ear endoscope. Key features include: Principles of endoscopic ear surgery Evolving concepts of middle ear physiology and ventilation routes Basic and advanced endoscopic ear surgery techniques Endoscopic lateral skull base surgery Endoscope-assisted office procedures Endoscopic Ear Surgery is primarily intended for otolaryngologists who perform ear surgery and would like to acquire or fine tune their endoscopic ear surgery skills. It is also helpful to otolaryngology residents during their otology block. This book is valuable to anyone performing ear procedures in the operating room or in the office.
Trade Review"The art of this book is to (very convincingly) demonstrate applications and indications for endoscopic ear surgery and to consider future developments. ... The content is of course superbly illustrated and the layout does make "cherry picking" one's favourite topics easy. The description of the instrumentation and operating room set up I found thought provoking and, as a result, I detect the "Wind of Change" locally. ...Three chapters on CSOM will surely have the greatest relevance for our readers and there is excellent coverage of retraction pockets, sinus tympani cholesteatoma and the "Second Look" managed endoscopically. Later chapters range from "Office based" minor surgery to posterior fossa surgery. The latter is a lengthy chapter and the photography is superbly reproduced. ...This is an excellent book, tackling something a bit "different" and which should influence clinical practice." --Liam M Flood, FRCS, FRCSI, The Journal of Laryngology & Otology (2014)
