- Summary:
- Wetmore (pediatric otolaryngology, U. of Pennsylvania) et al. assemble 61 chapters by otolaryngologists and other clinicians from the US, Chile, and Canada who detail the principles of pediatric otolaryngology and the medical and surgical management of clinical problems encountered by residents, fellows, and practitioners in the field. After introductory chapters on pediatric care, anesthesia, the role of allergy and immunologic dysfunction in upper respiratory disease, molecular biology, vascular anomalies, soft tissue sarcomas, and psychiatric issues, they discuss the structure and function, imaging, and general aspects for each area, from the ear to the neck, and offer evidence-based pathways and discussion of identifying and treating common to complex disorders, such as traumatic injury, neoplasms, congenital malformations, dental and orthodontic disorders, communication disorders, airway obstruction, and infectious and inflammatory disorders. This edition includes a review of pediatric cochlear implantation, updated coverage of genetic developments that impact congenital hearing loss, discussion of recent controversies regarding tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, and coverage of new subspecialties like airway reconstruction and voice.
