Cohen: Atlas of Head and Neck Surgery (Expert Consult Series)

Learning how to do an operation can be a daunting task, whether as a first-year resident preparing the night before a case never previously encountered or as a surgeon in a busy practice faced with incorporating a new technique or technology into his or her surgical repertoire. This book acknowledges the realities of how this process occurs. Initially, “rote” learning of the steps involved may be all that can be expected. Over time, it is hoped that an increased understanding of the logic behind these steps and their sequence will be acquired, and this is where most surgical atlases stop. We know, however, that different surgeons perform the same operations in different ways, and these different techniques can work equally well. Although this can be confusing and disconcerting to early trainees as they work with different attending staff or preceptors, ultimately, being able to reconcile the success of these different approaches requires a firm grasp of the unifying concepts behind any procedure. Helping the reader reach this level while still supporting the early phases of learning is the goal of this book.

The book is designed to be read in the same way it is assembled. We selected authors with a known expertise in given procedures and asked them to break down the operations into their component steps, much as they would direct an early learner the first time through the procedures in the operating room. We then asked the authors to provide their logic, for both their technique and the sequence of these steps. This information was interposed into the initial “step sequence” in a separately identifiable way. Key references are provided, where needed.

With the chapters assembled with their artwork, each chapter was then sent to two to four surgeons with known expertise in the subject matter. They were asked to interject commentary into the chapter wherever they thought appropriate, whether to provide emphasis, clarification, or alternate strategies. This commentary is provided in essentially unedited form, interposed in the original author's text, because we thought that this would best simulate a “virtual conversation” taking place around an operation, such as one that would occur at a surgical technique meeting session where a panel is asked to discuss a given operation. We were surprised and gratified to see the enthusiasm with which the commentators approached the task. Finally, at the end of many of the chapters, we have provided summary comments, when applicable, that seek to clarify common themes, reconcile significant conflicts, or emphasize critical issues.

Through the use of different fonts, color schemes, and paragraph structure, the publisher has preserved the concept of the sequence of the writing process. This allows the reader, depending on his or her knowledge base or time constraints, to read (or reread) the operation at the most appropriate level for his or her need at that point in time. We think that it allows a logical sequence of knowledge acquisition, whether it be rudimentary memorization, review of the steps, a more in-depth understanding of the logic of these steps, or an analysis of the guiding principles that underpin the operation as a whole, through the commentary.

We hope the reader enjoys this approach as much as we have enjoyed assembling it. We think that the discipline of the framework it provides is valid not only for the operations outlined here but also for a lifelong learning process that will allow for the newer techniques and technology that we all will and must confront over the course of our professional lives.

- James I. Cohen, Gary L. Clayman

Myers: Operative Otolaryngology: Head & Neck Surgery 2nd edition 2-Volume Set

We are very pleased and proud to present the Second Edition of Operative Otolaryngology: Head and Neck Surgery. This book was written by members of our Department of Otolaryngology together with our colleagues in the Departments of Dermatology, Neurological Surgery, Ophthalmology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and Plastic Surgery, all from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. We have a long record of excellent relationships with our colleagues and without them we would not have been able to become leaders in subspecialty areas requiring intense multidisciplinary collaboration such as head and neck surgery, surgery of the cranial base, and neuro-otology.
In reviewing the table of contents from the First Edition, I was astonished to see how many of the procedures we described are now either completely obsolete or rarely used. The specialty of otolaryngology has evolved dramatically over the decade since the publication of the First Edition. We are now in an era in which very exciting new developments in technology have set the stage not only for new and improved surgical techniques but also for maintaining an excellent quality of life for our patients.
The Second Edition has 131 chapters compared with 125 in the First Edition. However, many of the original chapters were eliminated or consolidated under other headings so that we have been able to add 30 new chapters while only having to add an overall total of 6 chapters. Forty-six new authors have played a major role in producing this book. These new authors are all on the faculty of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and bring great vigor and talent to those chapters that reflect their special areas of interest. Exciting new work in the field of otology includes the new techniques for BAHA surgery and updates the fast-moving field of cochlear implantation. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery was too new to be included in the previous edition. Here, these techniques are described in detail, as is the management of many of the vexing complications encountered with this type of surgery. The improvement in the quality of life of these patients is remarkable.
Great emphasis has been placed on the endonasal endoscopic management of tumors at the base of the skull and the unique complications encountered. In our institution, we have pioneered the two-team approach, which includes an otolaryngologist/head and neck surgeon and a neurosurgeon working simultaneously to allow two-hand dissection. Almost all tumors, both benign and malignant, in this anatomical area can be removed endoscopically. Transnasal endoscopic surgery also allows for decompression of the optic nerve in patients with Graves’ disease, traumatic injury, or orbital/skull base turmors. This technique can be done quickly with no side effects and the immediate return of vision is quite dramatic. Transnasal dacryocystorhinostomy is a helpful technique in the management of tearing. Cerebrospinal fluid leaks of all sizes are now managed successfully endoscopically.
The endoscope now plays an increasingly important role in removal of tumors of the thyroid and parathyroid glands. These techniques, in select patients, provide a bloodless surgical field with the possibilities for great exposure and complete removal of small- to medium-size tumors. The scarring is minimal and this technique has been well received.
The innovative use of the endoscope coupled with the CO2 laser allows for the excision of both benign and malignant tumors of the larynx. This technique was not included in the previous edition but is well described herein. The selective neck dissection, which wasn't widely used at the time of the First Edition, is also described here.
In the last ten years, we have developed one of the leading centers for the care of the voice. The University of Pittsburgh Voice Center has three fellowship-trained laryngologists in conjunction with a cadre of well-trained speech-language pathologists who provide care for the professional voice. They have contributed the entire section on laryngology, which is all new to this edition. Since many patients require Botox injection for various spasmodic conditions in the larynx, our laryngologists have also become quite expert in the technique of injection of Botox in the management of Frey's syndrome, another addition to the book.
The operative techniques described in this book are augmented with detailed information regarding preoperative evaluation and postoperative care since the philosophy of our department is that preoperative evaluation and postoperative care play important roles in the outcome of the procedure.
We've dedicated this book to our department, our colleagues, and our patients, who are the beneficiaries of these advances in surgery in our field. We hope our readers will benefit from the innovative advances that have taken place in this field and are described in this book.

Aronson: Clinical Voice Disorders 4th edition Book and DVD

The fourth edition of Clinical Voice Disorders is an up-to-date, practical reference for the management of voice disorders caused by structural and neurologic etiologies, as well as psychogenic disorders. The book provides a solid foundation for understanding the relationship between biology and clinical assessment; how neuromechanism relates to disorders; and the complex nature of behavioral voice disorders and treatment.

An expanded collection of clinical case studies provides the valuable opportunity to work through real-life examples of frequently encountered problems. 

New to this edition is a DVD-ROM with videos that provide a window into clinical interviewing, enabling viewers to observe Dr. Aronson’s techniques and approaches to therapy. Additional chapters on the DVD-ROM present the evolution and embryology of the larynx and respiratory system, covering vital respiration, respiration for speech, and the anatomy and physiology of phonation. Demonstrations of vocal fold vibratory patterns, stroboscopic examples of various pathologies, and audio samples of dysarthric voices enable clinicians to apply concepts presented in the text.

Highlights:

• Detailed presentation of the voice examination
• Evidence-based approaches that guide the reader through decision making and to the confident selection of treatments and therapies
• New chapter presenting the special considerations for treating the professional singer
• In-depth coverage of the laryngeal and respiratory anatomy and physiology—topics frequently omitted in textbooks on voice disorders
• Nearly 200 photographs and illustrations demonstrating key concepts

Ideal for students in graduate-level speech–language pathology programs and clinicians treating patients with voice disorders, this multimedia resource is indispensable for mastering the philosophy and clinical management for the full range of clinical voice pathologies.

The DVD provides many case examples excellent for perceptual practice and training the clinician's observation skills.

Paleri: ENT Infections: An Atlas of Investigation and Management

ENT Infections: an Atlas of Investigation and Management is a quality publication which brings together clinical scenarios that present to a diversity of clinicians on a daily basis. By dividing the ear, nose, and throat into its appropriate anatomic sites, the consulting clinician can refer to the Atlas and confirm with a greater degree of accuracy what the diagnosis is or likely to be. As well as covering the principles of microbiology and anti-infective therapy, this Atlas highlights the need for an appropriate physical examination of each anatomic area. Each chapter is lavishly illustrated with pictures of pathologies and clinical scenarios and includes algorithms and tables where needed. The addition of a chapter on tropical infections will be welcomed by many who will purchase this publication.

The authors, both Consultants in Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne Hospitals, are professionally aware that lack of knowledge among clinicians, general practitioners, and hospital consultants about the conditions and diseases that affect the ear, nose, and throat may result in inappropriate treatment. For example, the majority of acute symptoms that develop in ENT are labelled as casued by ‘an infection’ with the result that each such clinical scenario is treated by a course of ‘an antibiotic’. While the result of such intervention would seem appropriate as the condition, in the acute phase, seems to abate with the easing of ‘pain’ symptoms, often the infection lingers with the result that it returns with a vengeance within a short period of time. The symptom of ‘sore throat’, depending on the age of the patient, maybe called tonsillitis or pharyngitis, but is usually treated the in the same way; and in the older or elderly patient when such symptoms persists for weeks and, perhaps, months, the incorrect diagnosis of a ‘throat cancer’ is not infrequently made. Sometimes, what appears to be a ‘simple sore throat’ may become a life-threatening condition, such as a para - pharyngeal abscess or epiglottitis, which if not treated correctly may result, tragically, in death.
This publication is recommended to all professionals who are exposed to acute clinical scenarios, from paediatrics to care of the elderly. This book will also be invaluable to medical, dental, and nursing students, providing a foundation for future clinical experiences and expertise.
