Surgery of the Ear and Temporal Bone

Summary:

Organised on a problem orientated basis, the book not only shows how to perform various surgical procedures, but also explains how to select the best approach for the disease being treated and details the indications, contraindications, and complications of each procedure. The book begins with a comprehensive guide to pre-surgical evaluation and thoroughly illustrated reviews of soft tissue incisions and approaches, skin grafting, and osseous approaches to the temporal bone. This solid reference not only presents the details of surgical techniques that are reproducible and effective, but also assists the surgeon in critical decision-making. The book is edited by experts from Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, with contributors directly involved in the training program at the Infirmary.
