This book provides a detailed description of laryngeal procedures
performed under topical anesthesia in an office setting. The last
two decades have witnessed a major evolution in laryngology
practice toward office-based surgery, thus reducing the risk of
general anesthesia and containing healthcare costs while also
hastening recovery rates from the time of diagnosis. Beginning with
a comprehensive review of the anatomy and physiology of phonation,
the book then provides systematic assessment of patients with voice
dysfunction secondary to structural and functional laryngeal
disorders. It offers detailed instructions on patient selection,
safety, tolerance, and proper administration of topical anesthesia.
The book supplies detailed descriptions of the various surgical
techniques commonly used in office-based laryngeal surgery using
color illustrations, photographs and videos. Different surgical
approaches are presented including transcervical, transnasal and
per-oral techniques. The book also supplies a thorough review of
the literature on the current status of the most commonly performed
office-based laryngeal surgeries including patient care, surgical
outcome, and complications. Office-Based Laryngeal Surgery
will help laryngologists operating on awake patients in an
office setting to be both well-equipped and well-informed.
This volume provides a comprehensive review of causes of voice
changes in athletes and coaches, the clinical presentation of
laryngeal dysfunction, and its different treatment modalities. The
authors discuss the predisposing factors of these changes including
the use of anabolic steroids, and highlight the pathophysiology of
voice disorders in sports-occupational voice users who very often
need to vocalize outdoors and/or while performing strenuous
exercise over noise. Chapters cover the literature on vocal health
risk factors in the sports industry; the common phonatory
disturbances in athletes, fitness instructors and coaches;
sports-related laryngeal trauma; the impact of sports-related
musculoskeletal injuries on phonation; vocal fold dysfunction in
athletes, as well as the adverse effect of anabolic steroids intake
on occupational voice users. An updated, brief review of the
anatomy and physiology of phonation, with guidelines on the work-up
and treatment of common laryngeal pathologies in patients with
voice disorders is included. A well-focused description of the
interplay between musculoskeletal injuries, hyperkinetic body
behavior, laryngeal hyperfunction and voice disorders in athletes
and coaches is also provided, and the prevalence and
pathophysiology of exercise-induced laryngeal dysfunction is
discussed in depth. The text concludes with a thorough examination
of laryngeal trauma in athletes, clinical presentations, diagnostic
work-up and management. Voice Disorders in Athletes, Coaches and
other Sports Professionals will be a go to resource for
otolaryngologists, laryngologists, speech-language pathologists,
voice therapists, sports-occupational voice users, sports medicine
physicians, and physical therapists.
This volume provides an eloquent review of the anatomy and
physiology of phonation, the work-up of patients with voice
disorders, basic evaluation of wind instrument performance and
dysfunction, and a full description of the most common skeletal and
non-skeletal dentofacial anomalies, including their means of
diagnosis and treatment. This is followed by a comprehensive review
of literature on the vocal and acoustic features of affected
patients, as well as the special considerations in wind
instrumentalists. The effect of orthodontic therapy/ orthognathic
surgery on voice, associated upper airway changes, and wind
instruments performance is emphasized. The information provided in
this book will heighten the patients', therapists', teachers' and
physicians' awareness of the vocal characteristics and wind
instrumentalists concerns often associated with these conditions.
Dentofacial Anomalies: Implications for Voice and Wind Instrument
Performance is addressed to otolaryngologists, laryngologists,
speech-language pathologists, voice teachers, professional voice
users, wind instrumentalists, instrument teachers, arts medicine
physicians, physical therapists, orthodontists and other dentists,
as well as members of the general public who are concerned about
their voices and or wind instrument playing.
Laryngology: Clinical Reference Guide is a portable reference guide
that fills the void of an easy-to-read, concise, but comprehensive
book encompassing all aspects of laryngology. Each chapter follows
a uniform outline to facilitate quick review of a topic, and the
comprehensive nature of each chapter provides depth. This
clinically relevant resource is organized into ten sections that
are broken down into their most important and fundamental parts by
chapter, including the History of Laryngology; Embryology, Anatomy,
and Physiology; Evaluation and Physical Examinations; Laryngologic
Disorders; Neurolaryngology; Laryngologic Manifestations of
Systemic Diseases; Pediatric Laryngology; Surgery; Swallowing
Disorders; and Therapy. As a review book, it is ideal for residents
and fellows in training and those preparing for board and
in-service training examinations, as well as medical students
looking for a "deeper dive" into the world of laryngology. However,
it is also excellent for the practitioner who wants to get a
succinct update on the latest, cutting-edge knowledge in all areas
of laryngology. The information is authored by a collection of
"who's who" in laryngology. Formatted like the bestselling "Pasha"
(Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery) pocket guide, this text
provides a condensed amount of high-yield information with a
multidisciplinary approach to bring a broad range of insight into
complex clinical challenges.

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.

Laryngeal Manifestations of Systemic Disease synthesizes current
knowledge about voice dysfunctions associated with various
disorders. The authors review pathophysiology of systemic diseases
and their effects on phonation, with summaries of current
literature. Clinicians will benefit from the unique case studies,
with photos, to supplement various chapters. Difficulty with the
voice is often the first manifestation of systemic disease. Because
of this, familiarity with laryngeal manifestation of systemic
disease is important not only for otolaryngologists and
phoniatrists, but also for family practitioners, internists,
medical students, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurse
clinicians, speech-language pathologists, singing voice
specialists, acting voice specialists, voice teachers, and others
entrusted with the care, education, and health of the human voice.
This book is intended for all such professionals, and for patients,
particularly professional voice users, who want to know as much as
possible about their instrument and conditions that might affect it
adversely.

Obesity and Voice: Current Views and Future Trends examines
obesity-related voice research and suggests future research trends
on the link between weight loss, weight gain, obesity, and
phonation. Obesity is becoming one of the leading causes of
disabilities and death. This unique text highlights the various
means by which excessive weight, and weight loss, may jeopardize
voice quality and endurance. All three components of voice
production, the respiratory system and abdominal back and thoracic
muscles as the power source, the vocal folds as the oscillator, and
the vocal tract as the resonator, are targets of anatomic and
systemic obesity-induced changes. Consequently, phonatory effects
of obesity are inevitable. Considering the epidemic nature of
obesity, obesity-related voice research is a critical topic for
anyone interested in conditions affecting the voice, especially
professional voice users and physicians.
