Description

Written by some of the most experienced surgeons in the United States, Contemporary Transoral Surgery for Primary Head and Neck Cancer is a distinct resource for surgeons and oncologists interested in transoral surgery. This text gives readers current, thoroughly illustrated, and data-driven information on all aspects of transoral surgery. The authors are pioneers in the field, having performed thousands of transoral surgery cases and publishing and lecturing extensively on the subject. Opening with the history of transoral surgery, the book goes on to address endoscopic anatomy, general techniques, as well as tips for analysis and pathologic considerations, and provides comprehensive coverage of surgeries for the head and neck subsites. Also included are valuable chapters on surgery for chemoradiation failures, reconstruction techniques for surgical defects, and oncologic and functional outcomes using open surgery, chemoradiation, and transoral surgery. To supplement the text and provide additional visualization of the concepts described, readers can access a companion website that contains video footage of transoral surgery techniques for various head and neck primary cancer sites. Through this highly relevant text, physicians not only learn the technical aspects of transoral surgery for head and neck cancer, but also its importance in the treatment of these patients.
