This new publication is superb… the best book, even by the standards of this publisher, in a very long time. – The Journal of Laryngology & OtologyThe definitive resource on clinical management of vestibular schwannoma from world renowned expertsAlthough a histologically benign and relatively uncommon tumor, otolaryngologists and neurosurgeons have maintained a lasting and deep-rooted fascination with vestibular schwannoma, also known as acoustic neuroma. Advancements in microsurgical technique, radiosurgery, and radiotherapy, coupled with an increased understanding of the natural history of the disease, have made modern management of this tumor considerably more complex. Concurrently, new controversies have added to the original debates among pioneering surgeons, with the pendulum swinging between conservatism and definitive cure.Comprehensive Management of Vestibular Schwannoma, by distinguished Mayo Clinic clinicians and renowned international contributors, is a comprehensive textbook covering all the clinical aspects of vestibular schwannoma management. Eighty-four chapters written by multidisciplinary experts including otolaryngologists, neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, neurologists, neuroradiologists, and audiologists, ensure a balanced view of all treatment modalities for sporadic and neurofibromatosis type 2-associated vestibular schwannoma.Key FeaturesEvaluation, surgical and nonsurgical approaches, rehabilitation, controversies, and long-term clinical outcomesDetailed illustrations by Robert Morreale, senior medical illustrator at the Mayo Clinic, highlight relevant anatomy and surgical approachesChapter summary tables provide readers with a rapid clinical reference derived from the published world literatureThe chapter "Anatomy of Vestibular Schwannoma Surgery" by the late internationally renowned

Glasscock-Shambaugh-Haynes 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, 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, Glasscock-Shambaugh-Haynes Surgery of the Ear is an excellent resource for otolaryngologists, neurotologists, neurosurgeons, and residents and students in these fields.

This text will serve as a useful resource for physicians managing jugular paragangliomas;the most common tumors of the jugular foramen. It reviews the challenges often faced in the management of these tumors due to the close proximity to critical adjacent structures including the dura, major vasculature, otic capsule and coursing cranial nerves. More conservative treatment options such as single fraction or fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy, subtotal tumor resection, and conservative observation that minimize morbidity and improve patient function and quality of life is also covered. Contemporary Management of Jugular Paraganglioma provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of the current status of the field that will help guide otolaryngologists, neurosurgeons, facial plastic surgeons, speech pathologists and residents involved in the care of patients with jugular paraganglioma.
