“Drs. Klein and Johns have provided a much needed and extremely valuable educational resource in their Laryngeal Dissection & Phonosurgery Procedures Atlas. The authors have done an outstanding job in selecting key subject matter and provided it in a remarkably precise presentation format for individuals aspiring to enhance their skill sets in phonosurgery. Their atlas will certainly be valuable to surgical trainees and those already in practice as well as program directors of Otolaryngology residencies and Laryngeal Surgery fellowships. The eclectic collaboration exemplified by Drs. Klein’s and Johns’ work in this atlas is especially admirable and will serve as an ongoing educational platform as laryngeal surgical procedures continue to evolve.”
-- From the Foreword by Steven M. Zeitels, MD, FACS, Eugene B. Casey
Professor of Laryngeal Surgery, Harvard Medical School;
Director, Center for Laryngeal Surgery and Voice Rehabilitation, Massachusetts General Hospital
ABOUT THE BOOK
This superbly illustrated atlas provides laryngologists with the base skills required to undertake all kinds of laryngeal phonosurgery procedures, prior to testing out one's skill set in the operating room or office on real patients. It guides the reader through the anatomy and physiology of the larynx (as they relate to the procedures) and various office and O.R.-based phonosurgical procedures, using easy-to-follow instructions and labeled photos. As such, otolaryngologists and otolaryngologists-in-training can confidently rely on this new resource to aid in honing their skills in a comfortable and risk-free environment.
Currently, there is no similar book available. Although several phonosurgery books have been published, they focus on the “in vivo” scenario as opposed to the dissection lab, or “in vitro” scenario. In producing this atlas, the authors’ stated aim is to formalize the training of common and complex phonosurgical procedures, so as to ultimately improve healthcare delivery to patients suffering from voice disorders.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Adam M. Klein , MD is Assistant Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery at the Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta; Associate Director of the Emory Voice Center; Director of the International Observational Laryngology Fellowship at the Emory Voice Center; and Co-Medical Director of the Emory University Speech and Swallowing Pathology Division. Widely published, his research focuses on improving vocal diagnoses and outcomes via integration of advancements in the biomedical and biotechnological sciences, notably the issues of vocal fold paralysis and vocal fold reanimation.
Michael M. Johns III , MD is Assistant Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology at Emory University School of Medicine; Chief of Otolaryngology at Emory Crawford Long Hospital; Medical Co-Director of Speech-Language Pathology Services, Emory Healthcare; a member of the Lung and Aerodigestive Malignancy Program at the Winship Cancer Institute; and Director of Medical Student Education in Otolaryngology at Emory University. A Founder and Director of the Emory Voice Center, his research interests lie in two major lines of investigation. The first is in the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of age-related voice changes, where funded research efforts in the lab have focused on rejuvenation of the aging larynx, resulting in the establishment of a novel murine model for the aging larynx, which has facilitated study of the use of stem cells and growth factors to alter tissue changes occurring in the aging mouse larynx. The second has focused on the prevalence of physician burnout among Otolaryngologists and key factors associated with the development of burnout.
AUDIENCE
Primary: Otolaryngologists; Otolaryngology Residents; Voice Clinics
