This book reviews current knowledge of the etiopathogenesis,
pathophysiology, and molecular biology of tympanic membrane
retraction pockets and provides clear guidance on clinical
assessment and treatment. A new diagnostic approach based on
clinicoradiologic correlations is presented, and the ability of
computer tomography to offer objective criteria for improved
differentiation between stable and unstable or unsafe retraction
pockets is explained. Surgical options are discussed, and on the
basis of their own clinical and surgical experiences the authors
propose a novel procedure, masto-atticotomy with anterior
epitympanotomy (AER surgery), which addresses the causative factors
underlying a retraction pocket. This surgery aims to restore
adequate aeration routes for the middle ear compartments situated
above the tympanic diaphragm; it results in better control of the
pathology and in most cases prevents its recurrence. The book will
assist otologists and surgeons in ensuring that retraction pockets
are effectively diagnosed and treated, avoiding progression to
cholesteatoma.
This book covers the latest advances in disciplines related to the
middle ear pathologies such as: the innovations in the
understanding of its functional anatomy and their implications
along with the breakthroughs in the physiopathology of its diseases
and the most recent concepts of their pathogenesis. More adapted
audiological investigative methods and the advanced imaging
approaches for an accurate diagnostic work up and the best
management of middle ear ailments are presented . As an up-to-date
learning resource, based on demonstrated clinico-radiological
correlations, this book is a highly valuable teaching tool,
especially when contemplating proceeding in middle ear surgery.
Middle Ear Diseases is a comprehensive work, aimed for trainees,
board candidates and teachers in otolaryngology and otology to
respond to every educational need in regard to the most common
middle ear pathologies. It is also a useful update for more
experienced professionals in this field, as well as radiologists,
audiologists and speech therapists.
Endoscopy is firmly established as a major technology for
investigation and therapy in a wide range of disciplines. The field
of otolaryngology or head and neck surgery owes its existence to
the very special difficulties of examining the dark recesses of the
head and neck. Therefore, this field has been at the forefront of
developing endoscopic techniques for use in this anatomic area.
While rhinologists have been quick to embrace the endoscope in the
management of sinus disorders, otologists and skull base surgeons
have been less than enthusiastic despite the vast range of possible
applications in this area. In this book the authors consider the
new field of application of endoscope technology in neuro-otology
and skull base surgery. Dr. Sanna is part of The Grupppo Otologico,
a world-renowned specialist center for the diagnosis and medical
and surgical treatment of diseases of the ear, skull base, facial
nerve, head and neck, and paranasal sinuses.
