Haynes-Glasscock-Shambaugh Surgery of the Ear is the preeminent text for surgeons and clinicians with an interest in hearing, ear infections, balance, the facial nerve and skull base tumors. Created by some of the most prominent names in the discipline, David S. Haynes, MD, Michael E. Glasscock, MD and George Shambaugh, MD, it has been edited over the years by leaders in the field, including department chairs and medical school deans. The last edition of this book was published over a decade ago, and there have been many new developments during that time. As noted above, the scope of the work is related to the ear, temporal bone and lateral skull base, which includes the pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of hearing, balance, facial function and neoplastic disorders, presented in nine sections. Opening sections present the scientific foundations, clinical evaluation and rehabilitation and surgical principles of otologic and neurotologic disease. Disease-specific sections comprise the remaining bulk of the text: external ear, mastoid and middle ear, and inner ear and skull base, as well as systemic disease of the audiovestibular system and tumors of the ear and lateral skull base. Plentiful images accompany the text. Now in a thoroughly updated open access seventh edition, Haynes-Glasscock Shambaugh Surgery of the Ear is an excellent resource for otolaryngologists, neurotologists, neurosurgeons, and residents and students in these fields.
