Summary:
Smouha (otolaryngology, Mount Sinai School of Medicine) and Bojrab (otolaryngology, Oakland U. and Wayne State U.) offer a guide for otolaryngology-head and neck surgeons, residents, and fellows to cholesteatoma and chronic ear disease from a surgical perspective. With many images, they describe the disease and general considerations, including preoperative assessment, the role of imaging, and the wet ear, then the components of middle ear surgery, anatomy, physiology, and surgical approaches. They discuss anatomical issues that arise, such as labyrinthine fistula and facial nerve dehiscence; controversies in management like the canal wall up versus down debate, facial nerve monitoring, endoscopes, and the value and timing of second-stage surgery; congenital cholesteatoma; recidivism; and complications of otitis media and cholesteatoma surgery. The content is based on an instructional course, "Surgical Decision Making in Cholesteatoma," taught by the authors and others at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery since 2000. Online access to surgical videos performed and narrated by the authors is included. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
