Implantable Bone Conduction Hearing Aids
Three decades after the introduction of the first bone-anchored hearing aids, the available systems have improved significantly and the field is expanding faster than ever. New technologies such as digital signal processing have opened new avenues unique to bone conduction hearing aids. Better insights into the physiology of bone-conducted hearing have not only changed the field but also provided ideas for new areas of application.In this volume of Advances in Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, renowned researchers and experienced clinicians from all over the world present the latest findings and practices. Reviews on the theoretical background of bone conduction hearing, presentation of currently available hearing aid systems, chapters on monaural and binaural hearing with implantable bone conduction hearing aids, a comparison with conventional hearing aids and a glimpse into the future of implantable bone conduction hearing aids render this volume an invaluable reference book to ENT surgeons, audiologists, hearing aid acousticians and researchers alike.
Comprehensive Techniques in CSF Leak Repair and Skull Base Reconstruction
Cutting edge techniques presented in print and through instructive online videos Written by international leading experts in the field of skull base surgery, this publication provides a comprehensive description of both the etiology and management of defects arising in the anterior skull base. The contributions explore the cutting edge techniques in cranial base repair including free grafting, pedicled endonasal and extranasal grafts as well as free flap reconstruction. Further, this volume provides a detailed description of how to enhance success in cerebrospinal fluid leak and encephalocele repair using an evidence-based approach to the diagnosis and localization. The contributions are accompanied by high-definition online videos that enable the reader to watch endoscopic skull base repairs performed by the masters while providing a step-by-step explanation of the techniques utilized. Otolaryngologist, neurosurgeons as well as physicians interested in learning about or wishing to optimize their techniques in anterior skull base reconstruction will find this publication indispensable reading.
Recent Advances in Tonsils and Mucosal Barriers of the Upper Airways
Since 1987, the most recent issues on tonsils and mucosal immunity have been discussed regularly at the 'International Symposiums on Tonsils and Mucosal Barriers of the Upper Airways' (ISTMB). This book is a summary of the topics presented during the 7th ISTMB covering both basic and clinical research on tonsils and upper airways. Presented are issues such as immunology and mucosal defense systems, bacteriology and virology, mucosal vaccine for upper airway infections, MALT, NALT and LALT, clinical manifests and pathogenesis of tonsil-related diseases such as IgA nephropathy, palmoplantal pustulosis, reactive arthritis diseases, and more related disorders. Further contributions reflect the association of tonsils with otitis media, allergic diseases in the upper airways, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, and medical and surgical treatments for tonsil diseases. Otolaryngologists, pediatricians and immunologists who seek to unravel the mystery of the tonsil will find this volume of great assistance on their way to accomplish this task.
Comparative Atlas of Endoscopic Ear Surgery
This unique, richly illustrated atlas offers a “how-to” reference guide to the most common and innovative endoscopic surgical procedures for the middle and inner ear, based on an ex vivo ovine model. Moreover, it compares this model to the same approaches in humans, underlying the essential surgical tips and tricks. The transcanal endoscopic approach for the management of middle and inner ear pathologies is being increasingly used, but in some countries the lack of human specimens makes adequate training in this field difficult: in response, the book introduces a novel method performed on the animal model, which allows trainees to improve their skills, while reducing the cost of surgical...
Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery
Incorporating advanced, up-to-date basic science with current clinical knowledge to set a new standard in the field This major new reference offers the most complete and balanced coverage of modern rhinology and skull base surgery available today by integrating key advances in the basic sciences with modern clinical developments. From the role of genetics, allergy, and immunology in rhinologic disorders to new, evidence-based medical and surgical approaches, the book covers all aspects of this dynamic, multidisciplinary specialty. A DVD with nearly 80 videos complements the book. Special Features: Highlights basic science developments in anatomy, embryology, pathophysiology, immunology, gene...
Manual of Allergy and Clinical Immunology for Otolaryngologists
Manual of Allergy and Clinical Immunology for Otolaryngologists presents the most up-to-date knowledge related to allergy and immunology directed towards the unique needs of otolaryngologists. Many of the clinical conditions treated by otolaryngologists have an allergic or immunologic pathogenesis, including sinusitis, rhinitis and otitis, and otolaryngologists are often required to use allergic methodology in treating these problems. This book is a resource to which physicians can refer to help them manage allergic aspects of common ENT problems and their diagnosis and management. Manual of Allergy and Clinical Immunology for Otolaryngologists begins with an introduction to the fundamental immunologic processes necessary to understand allergic mechanism and diseases and goes on to include food and drug allergies, anaphylaxis, immune deficiencies, occupational allergic diseases, and tumor immunology, among other topics. Otolaryngologists across all specialties as well as residents will benefit from the current information that focuses on the most important aspects of each topic in a concise, easy to reference format.
