Author Description

Produced by leading experts in otosurgery, Middle Ear and Mastoid Microsurgery is the result of thirty years' experience in the field and 12,000 clinical cases. This groundbreaking, up-to-the-minute atlas is the very first book to comprehensively cover middle ear and mastoid microsurgery. Beginning with a discussion of the anatomy of the temporal bone, Middle Ear and Mastoid Microsurgery next discusses the most efficient operating room layout, anesthesia and technical considerations, staging, ventilation-tube insertion, general surgical procedures, and pre- and post-operative care. In the bulk of the book, the authors provide-through careful description, elaborate photographs, and schematic computer illustrations-an exhaustive, step-by-step account of each type of middle-ear and mastoid microsurgery.
