Reflux Laryngitis and Related Disorders, Fourth Edition, provides a
practical overview of reflux laryngitis and other manifestations of
laryngopharyngeal reflux. It is designed for use by
otolaryngologists, primary care physicians, internists,
gastroenterologists, general surgeons, speech-language
pathologists, voice teachers, and patients. Since the first edition
was published, there has been a great deal of interest in
laryngopharyngeal reflux. Research has revealed new information;
diagnostic and treatment paradigms have changed; and new medical
and surgical therapies have been developed. This latest edition
highlights these new developments and cites many articles that were
not referenced in the third edition. Chapter 1 introduces
laryngopharyngeal reflux as a multisystem disorder and defines its
importance in otolaryngologic and pulmonary conditions. Chapter 2
summarizes the complex structure and function of the human voice,
laying the scientific groundwork necessary to understand the ways
in which reflux can impair voice use.Chapter 3 defines esophageal
structures and function, providing a comprehensive review of the
mechanisms of swallowing and a concise discussion of the physiology
of the lower esophageal sphincter. Chapter 4 reviews the symptoms
associated with not only typical gastroesophageal reflux disease
but also atypical (extraesophageal) reflux including
laryngopharyngeal reflux complaints, and other symptoms such as
chest pain. This chapter also reviews complications of reflux such
as Barrett's esophagus and includes new information on diagnostic
technology. Chapter 5 provides a comprehensive discussion of
laryngopharyngeal reflux and the symptoms and signs associated with
peptic mucositis of the larynx and related structures. This chapter
also updates much of the literature on laryngopharyngeal reflux and
stresses some particularly important reflux-related conditions such
as laryngeal granuloma. Chapter 6 reviews the diagnostic tests
available for patients with suspected reflux and the uses,
strengths, and shortcomings of each procedure. It includes an
extensive review of recent publications on this topic.Chapter 7
reviews the latest concepts in and literature on medical and
behavioral management of reflux disease. Chapter 8 describes
surgery for reflux, including an in-depth explanation of
laparoscopic antireflux surgery as well as a discussion of
endoscopic approaches to reflux management.
The third edition of Atlas of Laryngoscopy has been updated and
improved upon to present the latest information from experts in the
field. Each of the 146 chapters is made up of applicable case
studies and color, high-resolution photographs. As the skill of
diagnosis remains critical for residents, fellows, practitioners,
and academics, the third edition adds new diagnostic information.
It also includes new clinical observations. Covering everything
from normal vocal fold anatomy to vocal fold cancer to rare
traumatic injuries, there is no other book like this in the field.
It is a must-have for residents and professors alike.
