Neurotology, Gebunden

Klappentext

Since its first publication in 1994, Neurotology has stood as the essential reference and educational foundation for clinicians, trainees, and researchers in this rapidly evolving specialty. The third edition continues that legacy, reflecting three decades of scientific discovery, technological innovation, and clinical transformation that have reshaped the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of hearing, balance, the facial nerve, and skull base. Under the leadership of Peter L. Santa Maria, Richard K. Gurgel, and Robert K. Jackler, and with contributions from more than 120 international experts, this edition synthesizes foundational principles with emerging frontiers -from microsurgery and implantable devices to molecular medicine, genomics, computational diagnostics, and regenerative therapies.

What's New in the Third Edition

• Expanded and newly developed chapters on inner ear genetics, molecular diagnostics, regenerative biology, and inner ear pharmacology
• Advances in implantable technologies, including vestibular prostheses, auditory brainstem implants, robotic-assisted cochlear surgery, and evolving indications for cochlear implantation
• Comprehensive updates in vestibular medicine, including concussion, vestibular migraine, superior semicircular canal dehiscence, and novel physiologic diagnostics
• Evolving management strategies in skull base disease, reflecting modern stereotactic radiotherapy, minimally invasive surgical approaches, and systemic oncologic therapies
• Integration of new diagnostic and therapeutic paradigms linking systemic disease, immune disorders, imaging analytics, AI, and precision medicine

Key Features

• A single, authoritative volume encompassing the full spectrum of contemporary neurotology-from basic science and disease mechanisms to advanced diagnostics and operative approaches
• Step-by-step procedural guidance, including modern visualization techniques and surgical strategies for lesions of the cerebellopontine angle and skull base
• Hundreds of detailed illustrations and high-resolution images to enhance anatomical understanding and surgical planning
• Practical, evidence-based recommendations for implantable devices, electrophysiologic testing, assistive technologies, and evolving care pathways
• Ideal for neurotologists, otolaryngologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, audiologists, vestibular clinicians, and trainees, this edition serves as both a comprehensive reference and an indispensable learning resource for the next generation.
• An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
