Paolo Zamboni – författare

This book is designed to equip the reader with a detailed knowledge of the pathophysiology of chronic venous disease and an understanding of the clinical benefits of restoring venous drainage by saphenous vein-sparing procedures, including minimization of invasiveness and reduction of the recurrence rate. All of the techniques currently available for vein-sparing strategies, including novel endovenous options, are clearly described and illustrated, with explanation of the role and value of recent technical innovations. The reader is guided through the entire management process, starting from diagnosis and proceeding through evaluation of the individual patient’s needs to the successful implementation of appropriate treatment. In addition, the literature on relevant diagnostic and therapeutic protocols is thoroughly reviewed, covering all significant publications to the present day. The content is kept as simple as possible to help those new to the field. At the same time, the deep insights into theoretical and technical aspects will support even the most advanced specialists in their everyday practice.

The book provides a comprehensive discussion on the diagnosis and treatment of Eagle Syndrome, drawing on the clinical expertise of the authors. Eagle Syndrome, also known as Symptomatic Styloid Process Elongation, is a rare clinical condition that presents with various manifestations that often go unnoticed in many affected patients for extended periods. Its impact on patients' lives can be severe and occasionally life-threatening, compounded by prolonged frustration due to an ongoing and undiagnosed condition with no apparent solutions. The crucial factor in identifying this clinical entity is acknowledging its existence and considering it in the differential diagnosis during routine practice. In most cases, a detailed medical history, a standard ENT examination, and basic imaging are sufficient. Upon a confirmed diagnosis, a wide array of potentially effective conservative and surgical treatments becomes available. Unfortunately, the global literature primarily consists of individual or limited case reports, with few comprehensive overviews and no dedicated monographs. This fragmented clinical expertise and scientific output likely reflect the overall low awareness and knowledge of the syndrome within the medical community, spanning from general practitioners, ENT specialists, to neurologists, and oral surgeons. The present book fills this existing gap and critically review the extensive but scattered literature worldwide, striving to construct a robust and credible database of available scientific evidence. The volume encompasses intricate carotid and jugular subtypes and covers various forms of open styloidectomies, alongside the latest options in trans-oral approaches, such as 3D endoscopic and robotic techniques. It includes numerous case reports featuring diverse imaging, surgical images, and video clips. Therefore, it will be a valuable resource primarily for ENT and Head & Neck Surgeons, Neurologists, Neurosurgeons, Oral Surgeons, and Pain Specialists alike.
