Beginning with a discussion of the anatomy of the temporal bone, "Middle Ear and Mastoid Microsurgery" next discusses the most efficient operating room layout, anesthesia and technical considerations, staging, ventilation-tube insertion, general surgical procedures, and pre- and post-operative care. In the bulk of the book, the authors provide - through careful description, elaborate photographs, and schematic computer illustrations - an exhaustive, step-by-step account of each type of middle-ear and mastoid microsurgery.
