The first text on the subject to focus specifically on the pediatric population, this comprehensive reference collects best practices in the prevention, recognition, diagnosis, and management of complications affecting the head and neck, ear, nose, and throat, addressing medical-, surgical-, and disease-related conditions, as well as situations in critical care treatment and transport. It details complications that may occur alongside specific operative procedures, provides methods for improved outcomes in the care of children suffering from syndromic features, cancer, sleep apnea, cleft palate, and maxillofacial trauma, and discusses complications from both a functional and cosmetic perspective.
Opening with a clear overview of the biology and demographics of aging, this text authoritatively summarizes the most recent knowledge on disorders of the ears, nose, paranasal sinuses, oral cavity, larynx, voice, throat, and neck in the geriatric population. With chapters by prominent leaders in the discipline, this reference serves as an invaluable source of guidance on perioperative assessment, operative procedures and outcomes, and new strategies for reconstructive and cosmetic surgery.
This colour atlas provides information on all major acoustic neurinoma procedures, and is designed to improve physicians' skills in this specialty. With more than 50,000 new cases per year worldwide, acoustic neurinomas are among the most commonly observed skull-base tumours. They are also among the most demanding for surgeons, since great precision is needed to safeguard the auditory nerve, the facial nerve and other critical structures. The book begins with sections on the radiographic assessment of tumours, the selection of surgical approach, and pre-operative preparations. It then turns to the main surgical approaches, using hundreds of photographs - taken during actual surgery - to lead readers through each procedure in step-by-step detail. There is a special section on the use of endoscopy in acoustic neurinoma surgery, and an analysis of 50 MR scans. This practical volume should be of interest to otolaryngologists, neurosurgeons and other physicians involved in acoustic neurinoma surgery.
The first and only source to offer a detailed and authoritative review of every aspect of nasal and sinus disorders in children, this reference provides an impressive collection of reviews on topics ranging from disease mechanisms and immunodefense to diagnosis, medical management, and surgical strategy.
The fast development of more atraumatic and refined operative techniques in the last decade, and the importance of good long-term results and reduced number of failures in nasal surgery, emphasize the need for an up-to-date, step-by-step operative guide. Although there are many good books on the subject of rhinoplasty, there is a lack of practical guides covering surgical anatomy, pre- and postoperative management, and basic techniques for septal-, tip- and osseocartilaginous vault surgery, especially for the less experienced rhinosurgeon. The first edition of Rhinoplasty was published in 1993 and the second edition five years later. The reviews in leading journals were overwhelmingly positive. Any small points of constructive criticism acted as a stimulus to improve the book, and the third edition, nearly twice as big as the first one, shows that fact. It expands and enlarges the canons of nasal surgery elegantly demonstrated in the former editions. In comparison with the second edition, six new chapters have been developed, including expanded and detailed discussions of septoplasty, ethnic rhinoplasty, refinements of the open approach, alar batten grafting and an enlarged section on nasal reconstructive techniques.
Within the specialty field of otorhinolaryngology and head and neck surgery, subspecialties have developed that focus on specific types of problems. We are all familiar with the various subspecialty fields and recognize that there are areas of overlap. The surgical treatment of nasal obstruction is a large topic. We have divided this into two issues, one with a primarily rhinologic flavor, and this issue with a more facial plastic perspective. Of course, there is overlap; furthermore, we expect that all of the subjects discussed will be familiar to all otorhinolaryngologists. Nevertheless, otorhinolaryngologists and facial plastic and reconstructive surgeons who have focused their energies on functional and cosmetic septorhinoplasty do offer a unique perspective and experience of the surgical management of nasal obstruction, and this perspective is highlighted in this issue. Many of the articles focus on complex problems related to the septum—treating the caudal septum, a discussion of complications of septal surgery including their avoidance and management, and when to consider the open rhinoplasty approach to septal surgery. Surgical pearls for septoplasty are also considered. Functional rhinoplasty also naturally receives significant attention in this issue, with consideration of surgical treatment of the saddle nose, treatment of nasal obstruction in the traumatized nose, treatment of dorsal deviation, and surgical and nonsurgical treatment of the nasal valve. Piriform aperture stenosis, a less common form of nasal obstruction, is also considered. A number of facial plastic surgical case studies round out this issue. I would like to thank the authors whose hard work and contribution to education is acknowledged and greatly appreciated. Also, I would like to thank our publisher Surgical Management of Nasal Obstruction: Facial Plastic Surgery Perspective Otolaryngol Clin
Over the last 20 years, pediatric otolaryngology has become a recognized subspecialty within otolaryngology head and neck surgery. Organizing the growth of clinical practice and knowledge in this area now is Pediatric Otolaryngology for the Clinician, a user-friendly resource for practicing general otolaryngologists, pediatricians and family practice physicians. This important title is divided into five sections: general ENT topics, otology, rhinology, head and neck disorders, and emergencies. Each chapter is authored by a recognized expert in the field and is concise and highly informative. Designed as a quick reference guide on a variety of topics such as antibiotic treatment of ear infections, sleep disorders in children, cochlear implantation, and airway management, to name just several, the book serves as a comprehensive yet succinct guide to caring for children with ear, nose and throat problems and will stand as an invaluable resource for any busy pediatric clinic.
