This richly illustrated ear microsurgery atlas shows a picture is worth a thousand words! In order to envision a three-dimensional picture of the surgical space and ultimately to master surgery, surgeons need thorough visual and clinical knowledge of anatomy. Ear Surgery Illustrated: A Comprehensive Atlas of Otologic Microsurgical Techniques by renowned surgeon Robert Jackler and illustrator Christine Gralapp reflects more than three decades of collaboration. The color illustrations herein communicate a wealth of surgical anatomy and technique with exceptional clarity and precision. Succinct, insightful text paired with the drawings delineate key landmarks, define crucial relationships, and elucidate complex concepts. Fifteen chapters encompass the broad spectrum of modern otological surgery practice — from commonplace procedures to complex tertiary-quaternary operative care. The appendix features helpful educational handouts surgeons can give to patients. Key Features More than 1,100 precise full-color illustrations with explanatory text cover a broad range of microsurgical approaches A wide range of surgical procedures including stapes surgery, tympanoplasty, ossiculoplasty, mastoidectomy, vestibular surgery, cochlear implants, temporal bone resection, and petrous apicectomy Management of various diseases and conditions such as cholesteatoma, facial nerve issues, temporal bone fractures, hearing loss, encephaloceles, cerebrospinal fluid leaks, and pulsatile tinnitus Stepwise procedural guidance throughout the atlas enables novice otolaryngologists and subspecialty otologists to achieve optimal surgical outcomes. Experienced surgeons will find insightful tips and helpful tricks to refine skills and tackle more complex technical challenges encountered in practice. Paired with Robert Jackler's and Christine Gralapp's Atlas of Skull Base Surgery and Neurotology Second Edition, the two books meld visual and clinical knowledge into remarkable resources covering otological, neurotological, and lateral skull base surgery techniques.

This new edition has been fully revised to bring medical students and trainees fully up to date with the latest advances in ear, nose and throat, and head and neck surgery. Divided into eight sections, the book begins with an introduction to ENT examination. Each of the following sections covers anatomy and the diagnosis and treatment of associated diseases and disorders in different areas of the head and neck. The second edition includes new topics such as skull base surgery, functional endoscopic sinus surgery, and cochlear implantation, as well as a complete section dedicated to paediatric ENT. Each chapter includes ‘key points’ for quick revision and numerous photographs, illustrations and tables. Key points Fully revised, second edition presenting latest advances in ENT and head and neck surgery Covers many new topics with complete new section on paediatric ENT ‘Key points’ summarised for each chapter to assist revision Previous edition published in 2008

Introducing a state-of-the-art text/atlas devoted to diagnosing and treating ear diseases of the cat and dog. The first part offers a brief review of the science involved in caring for small animals with ear disease, as well as discussion of the anatomy of the ear, examination techniques and instrumentation, pathophysiology, therapeutics, and microbiology. The remainder of the text focuses on specific ear conditions with the use of over 100 lavish color illustrations of the conditions--including high-quality photographs and drawings. Provides descriptions of the diagnostic techniques and treatment options to manage the specific disease process. Provides comprehensive coverage of the canine and feline anatomy in the first chapter and helpful reviews of specific anatomical aspects in the relevant sections that follow. Devotes chapters exclusively to the pathophysiology of specific ear conditions, including polyps, allergies, ruptured eardrums, ceruminous otitis, otitis externa, otitis media. Facilities diagnosis with photographs of actual clinical cases. Features an important discussion of ototoxicity of topical preparations and offers an extensive ear product formulary organized by both generic ingredients and product names. Provides guidance in marketing ear care and establishing a quality ear care program.

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.
