Description
Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers Sataloff’S Comprehensive Textbook Of Otolaryngology: Head And Neck Surgery: Otology/Neurotology/Skull Base Surgery Volume 1 by Robert T Sataloff and Anil K Lalwani
Though a subspecialty within otolaryngology—head and neck surgery, otology/neurotology/skull base surgery is as diverse as the field of medicine itself. And like medicine, it enthralls those who pursue it—whether as a generalist or a specialist. This textbook endeavors to capture the dynamic nature of otology/neurotology/skull base surgery in its pages while providing a broad foundation in its basic and clinical sciences. Written by experts, the chapters encompass the basics such as anatomy and physiology of hearing loss, vestibular dysfunction, facial nerve disorders, and skull base tumors. Radiology has its own chapter, and disease-specific imaging is reviewed in all relevant chapters. Building upon the basics, cutting-edge topics such as cochlear implantation, auditory brainstem implants, and implantable hearing aids are thoroughly covered in their own chapters. Ultimately, this textbook is distinguished by the expertise of its contributors—all leaders in otology/neurotology/skull base surgery.
Head and Neck Surgery is part of a comprehensive series entitled Sataloff’s Comprehensive Textbook of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. Other volumes in the series are devoted to various specialties within the field, including Otology/Neurotology/Skull Base Surrgery. Rhinology/Allergy and Immunology, Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Laryngology and Pediatric Otolaryngology.
