Endoscopic Ear Surgery: Principles, Indications, and Techniques

Increasingly used as an adjunctive tool in the diagnosis
and management of ear disease, middle ear endoscopy has the potential to
decrease patient morbidity, prevent disease recurrence, and reduce costs.
Its capacity to uncover “hidden” anatomy within the small dimensions of the ear
has made it essential for functional surgery, allowing surgeons to preserve key
anatomic structures such as the cochlea and facial nerve.

Now for the
first time, the physicians who pioneered this groundbreaking minimally invasive
technique review its indications, advantages, disadvantages, and surgical
approaches:

• Written by the foremost leaders in the field, all members of
  the International Working Group on Endoscopic Ear Surgery
• Features nearly
  1,000 intraoperative endoscopic images filmed with high-definition cameras, plus
  outstanding line drawings that aid in understanding all concepts
• 
  Comprehensively covers the field, including chapters on endoscopic and combined
  endoscopic-microscopic management of cholesteatoma, surgical restoration of
  middle ear ventilation, myringoplasty, Meniere disease, tympanoplasty and stapes
  surgery, revision surgery, and much more
• Demonstrates state-of-the-art
  endoscopic procedures in 19 instructive videos

From the unique anatomy and
pathophysiology of the middle ear through diagnosis, surgical indications,
procedures, and instrumentation, this book is indispensable for all
otolaryngologists and neurotologists. It offers a full picture of the
field today, as well as exploring the future possibilities of ear endoscopes
alone or in combination with operative microscopes for the most effective
treatment of middle ear pathologies.
