This new publication is superb... the best book, even by the standards of this publisher, in a very long time. - The Journal of Laryngology & Otology The definitive resource on clinical management of vestibular schwannoma from world renowned experts Although a histologically benign and relatively uncommon tumor, otolaryngologists and neurosurgeons have maintained a lasting and deep-rooted fascination with vestibular schwannoma, also known as acoustic neuroma. Advancements in microsurgical technique, radiosurgery, and radiotherapy, coupled with an increased understanding of the natural history of the disease, have made modern management of this tumor considerably more complex. Concurrently, new controversies have added to the original debates among pioneering surgeons, with the pendulum swinging between conservatism and definitive cure. Comprehensive Management of Vestibular Schwannoma, by distinguished Mayo Clinic clinicians and renowned international contributors, is a comprehensive textbook covering all the clinical aspects of vestibular schwannoma management. Eighty-four chapters written by multidisciplinary experts including otolaryngologists, neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, neurologists, neuroradiologists, and audiologists, ensure a balanced view of all treatment modalities for sporadic and neurofibromatosis type 2-associated vestibular schwannoma. Key Features Evaluation, surgical and nonsurgical approaches, rehabilitation, controversies, and long-term clinical outcomes Detailed illustrations by Robert Morreale, senior medical illustrator at the Mayo Clinic, highlight relevant anatomy and surgical approaches Chapter summary tables provide readers with a rapid clinical reference derived from the published world literature The chapter "Anatomy of Vestibular Schwannoma Surgery" by the late internationally renowned neurosurgeon Albert L. Rhoton Jr. reflects his major contributions on this subject With inclusion of fundamental principles to advanced concepts, this is a robust resource for residents, fellows, and early attending physicians, as well as mid- to later-career physicians who care for patients with vestibular schwannoma. This book includes complimentary access to a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.

Neurotology is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating neurological conditions of the inner ear and related structures. There have been many recent advances in neurotology that have been published in general medicine, otolaryngology and neurology journals. This comprehensive book will aggregate this information to provide a more complete picture of the state of the field and will include the authors' own clinical experience. There is a recent marked increase in interest in neurotology, manifested by the clinical experiences and research-publication work of otolaryngologists, neurologists, neuro-ophtalmologists, audiologists and physiotherapists. As a result, this will be a completely state-of-the-art work that includes all up-to-date neurophysiological data related to the vestibular system. It has been estimated that 10% of patients that present at an emergency clinic have vestibular disorders, including vertigo, and these disorders are frequently a cause of falls in elderly patients. On the other hand, many physicians treat their patients with vertigo with vestibular blockers, which treat the symptoms but do not cure the disorders. We feel that it is important to supply a source of information on the vestibular system and balance disorders, and this title will do that in a comprehensive manner. This title will be an ideal reference for the diagnosis and treatment of vestibular disorders for otolaryngologists, neurologists, neuro-ophtalmologists, audiologists and physical therapists.

Imaging for Otolaryngologists distils the essentials of otolaryngologic imaging into a concise reference that concentrates on key topics that are of immediate interest to otolaryngologists practicing in a modern clinical environment. Prepared by a renowned otolaryngologist, and reviewed and supplemented by expert radiologists, the book provides a well- rounded perspective. The central focus is on image interpretation, including the disease-specific characteristics, the features necessary for successful diagnosis, and the implications for surgery. Each of the 465 high-quality images is clearly labeled, and where appropriate comparisons are made between CT scans and MR images to show complementary functions and limitations. All aspects of otolaryngologic imaging are covered, with a particular emphasis on anatomy, common diagnoses, and the choice of imaging modalities. The text is divided into four sections that guide the reader through the petrosal bone, skull base, sinonasal complex, and neck structures. Each section is consistently structured for easy reading: normal anatomy is followed by frequent/common diseases and then less frequent yet still instructive diseases. The presentation of each disease follows a standardized layout with concise explanatory text on how to choose the most appropriate imaging modality, potential differential diagnoses, and points of evaluation. Imaging for Otolaryngologists helps its readers: *Evaluate the cross-sectional anatomy in rhinology, otology, and laryngology on plain films, CT scans, and MR images *Appreciate the contribution and limitations of plain films, CT, and MRI in the management of otolaryngologic diseases *Select the best imaging modality for chronic, acute, and emergency otolaryngologic conditions *Understand which radiological appearances to look for in the diagnosis of common and less common otolaryngologic diseases

Tonsillectomy is one of the most common procedures that otolaryngologists perform. Early in residency, most trainees are heavily influenced by their instructors in tonsillectomy technique and rarely revisit these procedures later in training. In practice, their surgical technique reflects these early experiences. Opinions regarding tonsillectomy are often difficult to change, possibly because of this early exposure. In 2000, Dr Peter Kotai described a radical new approach to tonsil surgery: intracapsular tonsillectomy. He questioned why otolaryngologists perform traditional extracapsular tonsillectomy (which was designed for infectious diseases) for children with obstructive symptomatology. As 19th century German philsopher Arthur Schopenhauer wrote, All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Intracapsular tonsillectomy is a prime example of this acceptance process. When Kotai first described it, there were very few otolaryngologists who embraced this procedure. Over time, much data has been collected, and this procedure has gained increasing acceptance. This textbook was undertaken with several ideas in mind. First, it reviews the current understanding of tonsil and adenoid surgery in children, along with when to consider intracapsular tonsillectomy (IT) and when to consider extracapsular tonsillectomy (ET). It reviews the last 16 years of information regarding differences in the surgical techniques. Concepts and data supporting the use of the procedures are presented. Secondly, this text will serve as a surgical atlas for those in the beginning of training, those that have mastered many techniques but may have not had exposure to all options, and those that are looking for even more advanced surgical maneuvers that may enhance their results. This will be a new type of surgical atlas, one using different colors to depict basic and advanced techniques. Each photograph demonstrates specific points of the procedures, with basic portions designated in green and more advanced techniques depicted in blue. Full length videos of each technique are also included. The European Experience of Tonsillotomy is not included in this text because there are no centers in the United States experienced with that procedure. Tonsillotomy is described as removing the tonsil tissue to the level of the anterior tonsillar pillar with a CO2 laser. It does not approach the depth of dissection of intracapsular tonsillectomy and therefore provides difficulty with comparisons. The text begins with Dr. Peter Koltai's description of how he developed the concept of intracapsular tonsillectomy. Chapter One, Powered Adenoidectomy, introduces many concepts that are also common to tonsillectomy. Chapters Two - Four describe the authors technique of intracapsular tonsillectomy (IT), as well as those of Dr. Robert Ward (New York University), and Dr. John Bent (Albert Einstein Medical College). In Chapter Five, Drs. Goldstein and Gitman from SUNY Downstate review extracapsular tonsillectomy (ET) and include their interpretation of IT. In Chapter Six, Dr. Nina Shapiro, with Sophie Shay from University of California, Los Angeles, reviews her extensive experience with coblation assisted tonsillectomy, both for extracapsular and intracapsular techniques. In Chapter Seven, Drs. Rubinstein and Derkay from Eastern Virginia University discuss the results of both IT and ET from the perspective of treatment of sleep disturbances and compare the complication rates published over the past 16 years. In Chaper Eight, the recent controversy of post-tonsillectomy pain treatment is presented with recommendations from Drs. David Tunkel and Grace Tan of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Finally, in the last chapter, conclusions are drawn and questions for the future are presented.
