In der vorliegenden 10. und 11. Auflage ist dieses Buch wiederum durch Verbesserungen, Zusatze und Streichungen dem gegenwartigen Stande der Wissenschaft angepaBt worden. Wie bisher soIl es auch jetzt in erster Linie allen Bediirfnissen der Studierenden und der Allgemeinpraktiker Rechnung tragen. Da es aber auch manche nicht anderweitig veroffentlichte Erfahrungen und Ansichten des Verfassers enthalt, wendet es sich auch an die Ohren-'und Kehlkopfarzte. Es ist aus klinischen V{)rtragen entstanden; jedoch wurde die auBere Einteilung in einzelne "Vorlesungen" aufgegeben, und die direkte Anrede ausgemerzt. Dagegen ist die freiere Anordnung des Stoffes, fiir die im klinischen Vortrage mehr didaktische als systematische Riicksichten maB gebend sind, beibehalten worden. Dadurch konnte manche Wiederholung vermieden und der Umfang des Buches in sehr maBigen Grenzen gehalten werden. Sehr ausfiihrlich ist alles dargestellt worden, was jeder Arzt von den Ohren-, Nasen- und Kehlkopfkrankheiten wissen und kennen muB. Auch wurde besondere Riicksicht auf die Bediirfnisse der auf dem Lande oder in kleinen Stadten, fern von spezialistischer Hilfe, wirkenden A.rzte genommen, damit sie sich in dringenden Fallen schnell und eingehend iiber das augenblicklich Notige orientieren konnen. In den der Therapie gewidmeten Abschnitten sind zwar solche Me thoden in den Vordergrund gestellt worden, fiir deren Brauchbarkeit der Verfasser aus eigener Erfahrung einstehen kann; doch wurden auch viele andere anerkannte Methoden beschrieben. Operative Eingriffe, die der Allgemeinpraktiker selbst ausfiihren kann, sind sehr genau, solche, denen nur der Spezialist gewachsen ist, mit wenigen \usnahmen nur kurz be schrieben worden."

Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfangen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen fur die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfugung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden mussen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.

Laryngology: A Case-Based Approach is an invaluable new text for clinicians and students covering evidence-based assessment and management of a full range of laryngological conditions. This unique text examines 55 common and rare cases and covers pediatric and adult patients. The cases are separated into four sections: pediatric, voice and airway, general/systemic, and dysphagia/swallowing. Key Features: * More than 300 figures, most in full color, including surgical photos, endoscopic images, pathological micrographs, and various process charts/diagrams and decision trees. * More than 30 video and audio files * Laryngology's leading experts have contributed their knowledge, expertise and experience to discuss the varied management options as they see it. The exciting new text also comes with access to a PluralPlus companion website, where readers can access video and audio files to enhance their understanding of cases in the book. With its multitude of cases and related multimedia, Laryngology: A Case-Based Approach is must-have resource for otolaryngologists, laryngologists, phoniatricians, speech-language pathologists, as well as anesthesiologists with an interest in managing the difficult airway.

This atlas presents a comprehensive and state-of-the-art overview of ultrasonography in the head and neck and will serve as a valuable resource for clinicians, surgeons, and otolaryngologists in private practice. The volume addresses all fields of office-based ultrasonography and gives an overview on the physical principles of ultrasound and sonographic techniques, along with detailed demonstrations of typical sonographic characteristics of particular diseases in the head and neck. Written by experts in the field it provides tips and tricks for ultrasound imaging. Subsequent chapters focus on office-based ultrasonography of the face and paranasal sinuses, salivary glands, floor of mouth and tonsil pathology, lymph node pathology, neck masses, thyroid and parathyroid glands, esophagus, and larynx. Special chapters address endosonography of the pharynx and larynx, interventional sonography, and intraoperative sonography. Latest technical developments in the field and their application to clinical ultrasonography are also demonstrated. A brief review of the existing latest literature addressing particular topics follow each chapter. All sonographic findings are demonstrated by high quality ultrasound-pictures and supplementary videos. Ultrasonography of the Head and Neck will serve as a useful guide for all physicians dealing with head and neck ultrasonography and its application to clinical medicine.

Vocal fold scar remains one of the most demanding and, in some ways, frustrating challenges of laryngology and voice therapy. Treatments for this complex condition are inconsistent and often produce suboptimal results. Yet, while hopes for full recovery remain slim, surgical methods and improving technologies, along with improved therapy techniques, have combined to yield better and better outcomes; and further advances are on the horizon. In this new book, Drs Moore and Sataloff have collaborated with world leaders in laryngology and speech-language pathology to compile the latest information on the pathophysiology of vocal fold scar, treatments, procedures and, importantly, look at the promising directions in research. The authors introduce the various causes and sequelae of scar, examine anatomy and pathophysiology, and take the reader through diagnostic procedures. Thereafter, they review pre-operative therapy options and providing practical guidance on surgical methods including medialization, techniques for freeing the epithelium, management of sulcus, grafting, and the use of lasers.The book discusses tissue engineering and newer treatment options, including epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta1). The book summarises the state of the art in diagnosis and treatment of vocal fold scar and should be valuable for any clinician who cares for the patient with this vexing problem.

This book introduces readers to modern micro ear surgery procedures employing 3-D methods. Divided into 5 chapters, it explores 43 micro ear surgery operations, while 418 pairs of stereoscopic images illustrate each procedure in 3-D detail. Using the operating microscope, which provides true stereo vision through its two-eye lens system, the authors present various micro ear surgeries, including mastoid and middle ear surgery, facial nerve surgery, inner ear surgery, and lateral skull base surgery. For each pair of stereoscopic images, readers can find the anatomic structures captured from two different angles, and will learn how to use stereoscopic 3-D methods to view the anatomic structures hidden deep in the temporal bone. As such, the book offers a valuable guide book and reference work for doctors specializing in otology, neurology and related fields.

"Laryngeal Electromyography, Third Edition" is an easy guide and quick reference for laryngologists, neurologists, physiatrists and others who wish to learn the procedure of laryngeal electromyography in order to stimulate and then evaluate the integrity of the muscles and nerves of the larynx, and to determine the cause of movement disorders of the vocal folds (vocal chords) and make a diagnosis.Thoroughly revised since the previous edition, "Laryngeal Electromyography" provides the latest advances on electromyographic procedure and diagnostics. This third edition includes concise, practical coverage on the details of the procedure and clinical applications.
