Otorinolaringoiatria

All approaches to the middle ear and all myringoplasty and ossiculoplasty methods described in the major literature are included. Through detailed step-by-step drawings, the reader is guided through each of the procedures, thus enabling the young otologist to learn and the experienced physician to refocus on the preferred method of choice. A major didactic goal is achieved by the categorization of the many modifications into related groups and subgroups. Through over three decades of practice and teaching, the author has achieved in this work the perfect blend of the fundamental and the practical. If anyone would be restricted to a single source on this subject, this work would be his most likely choice. It is a definitive reference for any professional involved in middle ear surgery.

L'idea di raccogliere in un testo i principali quadri clinici otoneurologici è nata dal desiderio di offrire ai Colleghi, non solo Otoiatri, Oculisti, Neurologi, Neurochirurghi, la possibilità di una facile consultazione di queste forme cliniche che col trascorre del tempo hanno richiamato un interesse sempre più vasto. Infatti, molte delle manifestazioni otoneurologiche rappresentano una parte di rilievo del corredo sintomatologico di numerose malattie a carattere generale la cui valutazione diagnostica richiede un contributo pluridisciplinare. A brevi note sull'anatomia e fisiologia del Sistema vestibolare, segue la descrizione delle caratteristiche semeiologiche delle lesioni otoneurologiche e delle indagini cliniche che vengono eseguite sul paziente per una corretta valutazione diagnostica. Nel secondo e terzo Capitolo sono descritti i principali quadri clinici otoneurologici d'origine periferica e centrale. La numerosa casistica, corredata da referti elettronistagmografici e neuroradiologici appartiene al Servizio di Otoneurologia della Clinica ORL di Padova, che ho diretto per oltre trent'anni.

Revised and written by leaders in the field, this expanded Second Edition text/atlas focuses on surgical techniques and surgical decision making.

In questo volume gli autori affrontano il problema dei danni uditivi da rumore a tutto campo, dalla anatomo-fisiologia dell'udito agli aspetti giuridici connessi con la diagnosi di ipoacusia professionale. La presentazione delle patologie uditive extraprofessionali ha lo scopo di fornire anche ai medici non specialisti Audiologia, strumenti conoscitivi che aiutino a formulare una più efficace diagnosi differenziale e giungere a una segnalazione più consapevole. La maggior parte del testo è dedicata alla descrizione analitica delle metodiche di misura della soglia uditiva, da quelle di base a quelle più sofisticate per la diagnosi oggettiva. Nella parte finale vengono riportate tutte le più recenti metodiche valutative nei vari ambiti.

The usual surgical approaches to the head and neck region are overviewed. Subdivisions were made according to the anatomical regions and their functional correlations. The approaches are explained in a short introductory text. Their execution and indications as well as possible extensions are included. Emphasis is put on the illustrative plastic images showing the approaches in 4-colored figures. These were drawn after anatomical specimens and intrasurgical findings, therefore representing the actual anatomical situation. This is not a comprehensive textbook of surgical procedures but a clear representation of surgical approaches to the different topographical regions.
