Book description
In this succinctly-organized text, leading specialists have created a
comprehensive guide to cholesteatoma and chronic ear disease. Based on
the bestselling AAO-HNS course,
Cholesteatoma
provides in-depth advice for the medical and surgical management of
this middle ear entity. Cholesteatoma
begins with an introduction of the disease and its general
considerations, including preoperative assessment, the role of imaging,
and the wet ear. Comprehensive chapters then present the three
components of middle ear surgery which are the middle ear, the mastoid,
and the meatus and the resultant cavity. The expert authors provide
perspective on the controversies in cholesteatoma management like canal
wall reconstruction, facial nerve monitoring, the use of endoscopes in
chronic ear surgery, and postoperative care. Features:
Accompanying online media includes 20 surgical videos performed and
narrated by the authors
More than 340 vibrant full-color illustrations demonstrate the
different disease progressions not shown in any other text
Insightful chapters cover recidivism and complications of both the
disease and surgery, while O. R. cases illustrate surgical approaches
Otolaryngology-head and neck surgeons, residents and fellows will refer
to this concise reference on a daily basis for the most up-to-date
information on cholesteatomas and other middle ear lesions. Associate
