All approaches to the middle ear and all myringoplasty and
ossiculoplasty methods described in the major literature are
included. Through detailed step-by-step drawings, the reader is
guided through each of the procedures, thus enabling the young
otologist to learn and the experienced physician to refocus on
the preferred method of choice.
A major didactic goal is achieved by the categorization of the
many modifications into related groups and subgroups. Through
over three decades of practice and teaching, the author has
achieved in this work the perfect blend of the fundamental and
the practical. If anyone would be restricted to a single source
on this subject, this work would be his most likely choice. It
is a definitive reference for any professional involved in
middle ear surgery.
