Full Description
This unique book provides a comprehensive overview, through more than 160 clinical cases, of all the fields of endoscopic ear surgery, from external to inner ear and lateral skull base.
This work is the result of a collaboration among prominent experts from over 30 countries. Many of these experts are members of the International Working Group on Endoscopic Ear Surgery (IWGEES).
The contributors describe real cases from their own practice, and each clinical case combines commentaries, key points, color illustrations, drawings, decision trees, and the latest bibliographic references, with step-by-step surgical videos explaining anatomy, techniques, devices, tips, and pitfalls.
