"The beauty of this book is that it takes us through a
step-by-step approach of Dr. Fisch's techniques, which build upon one
another as the book progresses...The authors do a great job of referring
both forward and backward in the book to previously mentioned schematics
so the reader can try to take in all the information and help bridge the
different steps together and apply it in different situation...Dr. Fisch
makes it very simple for the surgeons to understand the absolute
contraindications and things to look out for and to avoid while
performing the various procedures...this book is a great addition for
any otologic surgeon to provide them with an expanded armamentarium to
handle otologic procedures."--Otology & Neurotology_x000D_

need to know about middle-ear surgery. It is written by a master in his
field, a prolific author, teacher, and, above all, a surgeon...The scans
presented are relevant and illustrate the pathology well. Line diagrams
used throughout the book are clear and easy to follow...One is taken
step by step through the various surgical processes in such a logical
way that one is tempted to wonder why one never through of some of the
solutions before...This second edition can be regarded as the standard
