Bringing together a wealth of images of normal and diseased dog and cat ears, this is an indispensible diagnostic tool for the small animal veterinary practitioner seeing ear cases on a regular basis. This fully illustrated atlas covers the anatomy of the canine and feline ear, diagnostic techniques, a range of commonly seen diseases, and ear surgery. Atlas of Ear Diseases of the Dog and Cat is one of the most complete picture references for this rapidly expanding branch of small animal medicine and surgery. It is an invaluable aid for general practitioners, as well as those specialising in dermatology, and serves as an effective revision aid for veterinary students and those studying for further qualifications in veterinary dermatology. Includes over 400 high quality colour clinical images and clear line drawings Images are accompanied by clear explanatory text throughout Enables veterinarians to match cases seen in practice with photos supplied to aid diagnosis Written by highly qualified specialist veterinary dermatologist and veterinary surgeon

This work draws on the authors' experience and slide collection. The introduction provides, in overview, the physiology and function of the ear, followed by sections reviewing embryology and tools typically used in otoscopic examination. The balance of the book is a comprehensive photographic atlas of specific ear diseases, supported by detailed written descriptions, separated into chapters on the pinna, the external ear canal and the middle ear.

Packed with clearly labeled, full-color drawings on every page, Atlas of Middle Ear Surgery guides readers through the most common and innovative surgical procedures used to manage middle ear pathology.The authors, experts in this technically demanding field, begin by providing practical background information on surgical anatomy and pathophysiology followed by a brief introduction to anesthesia considerations and operating room etiquette. Full-color drawings then demonstrate the various surgical techniques in a step-by-step formatthat is excellent for learning. Succinct, easy-to-understand descriptions accompany every drawing in a didactic manner that reinforces fundamental concepts as it teaches.Features The latest on the surgical management of tympanic membrane abnormalities, chronic otitis media, cholesteatoma, and ossicular chain dysfunction 254 full-color drawings and schematics display anatomy and important surgical steps Numerous callout boxes in each chapter highlight key surgical tips, pearls, and pitfalls Concise and practical, this atlas is essential reading for otolaryngology residents, fellows, budding otologic surgeons, or practicing ENTs who need to hone their surgical skills and stay abreast of the latest advances in the field.

Otoscopic diagnosis can be one of the most challenging par ts of a physical exam. This new edition of Color Atlas of Ear Disease, 2/e features comprehensive material that has been collected over seve ral years, effectively illustrating some the disease conditions of the ear and tympanic membrane. In addition, a new section has been added showing conditions of the auricle. The text is complemented by an exte nsive photographic collection of ear diseases. This book can be used f or student and resident education in primary and otolaryngology, as we ll as for patient education.

This unique, richly illustrated atlas offers a “how-to” reference guide to the most common and innovative endoscopic surgical procedures for the middle and inner ear, based on an ex vivo ovine model. Moreover, it compares this model to the same approaches in humans, underlying the essential surgical tips and tricks. The transcanal endoscopic approach for the management of middle and inner ear pathologies is being increasingly used, but in some countries the lack of human specimens makes adequate training in this field difficult: in response, the book introduces a novel method performed on the animal model, which allows trainees to improve their skills, while reducing the cost of surgical training. It provides a full description of specimen preparation, and comparative anatomical and radiological analyses of the human and ovine models, guides readers through the main otologic operative techniques (e.g. canalplasty, miringoplasty and ossiculoplasty) step by step, and illustrates the best approach to the internal auditory canal. Written by prominent experts in the field, this atlas serves as a unique reference resource for residents and young surgeons wishing to acquire first-hand the skills needed for endoscopic procedures and to improve their learning curves.

FORWARD Keloids are an important medical problem which are often under appreciated by the medical community. Dr. Michael Tirgan has spent many years evaluating and treating patients with keloids on different regions of the body. The Atlas of Ear Keloids presents new insights into the natural history of keloids and provides a perspective that many of the standard surgical approaches may actually lead to progression of these tumors on ear. He presents good examples of an alternative treatment with cryotherapy that has convincingly eliminated some of the most troublesome keloids on ear. This book will provide valuable information to patients with keloids on ear and to medical professionals that treat these lesions. JAMES G. KRUEGER, M.D., PH.D.
