This manual covers all aspects of endoscopic surgery of the
lacrimal drainage system. Step-by-step descriptions are provided of
endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) and its use in revision
surgery, accompanied by numerous helpful photographs and anatomical
drawings. In addition, clear flow charts are included to aid in
diagnostic and surgical decision making and identify surgical
indications. Essential information is provided on anatomy,
physiology and pathology and an individual chapter is devoted to
imaging of the lacrimal drainage system. Further topics include
lacrimal probes and stents, potential complications of surgery, and
endoscopic DCR in the pediatric age group. This book will assist
the practitioner in negotiating the steep learning curve involved
in gaining the skills needed to perform endoscopic surgery of the
lacrimal drainage system, which offers significant advantages in
terms of avoidance of external incisions and maintenance of the
lacrimal pump.
This superbly illustrated atlas provides step-by-step descriptions
of surgical procedures to the airways based on use of the sheep as
an animal model, which has been demonstrated scientifically to be
comparable to the human. The procedures covered - tracheotomy,
laryngotracheoplasty, slide tracheoplasty, tracheal reconstruction,
partial cricotracheal reconstruction, and main endoscopic
techniques - are relevant to a range of frequent surgical
indications, such as stenosis, laryngotracheomalacia, and tracheal
tumor. The book is the first to describe such surgery on the basis
of this animal model and includes a full description of preparation
of the model. The practical guidance provided will equip surgical
trainees with the knowledge required before embarking on these
procedures in humans, but will also be highly relevant to more
experienced surgeons wishing to upgrade their skills. The book is
the outcome of a successful collaboration between the Head and Neck
Surgery Departments of the University Hospital of Modena and the
Bambino Gesu Hospital in Rome.
