Summary:

This book explores the emerging role of endoscopy in the evolution of otologic surgery and details both basic and advanced endoscopic ear surgery techniques. Rich with color images, this text addresses commonly encountered difficulties in chronic ear surgery and explains how endoscope-assisted surgical techniques can help. The use of endoscopes has given rise to the concept of ""functional endoscopic ear surgery,"" which helps reduce cholesteatoma recurrence rates while allowing less invasive, more physiologic surgical approaches.
