Full Description
Drawing on more than 80 clinical cases, this original book delivers a comprehensive overview of endoscopic ear surgery, encompassing congenital and acquired cholesteatoma, tympanic retraction pockets, middle ear tumors, facial nerve surgery, inner ear surgery, lateral skull base procedures, and cochlear implantation.
This work is the result of a collaboration among prominent experts from all over the world. 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.
Given its very practical approach, this volume will be an essential companion for surgeons wishing to improve their technique, as well as for beginners in the field of endoscopic ear surgery.
This volume is part of a comprehensive and innovative approach to ear endoscopy. It is complemented by a second book covering additional key areas of ear surgery, including external ear canal procedures, tympanic membrane perforations, and ossicular chain surgery, such as ossiculoplasties and stapes surgery.
Together, these two books constitute a complementary reference set, offering comprehensive coverage of ear surgery and serving as an invaluable resource for surgeons in the meticulous planning and preparation of their cases.
