In the treatment of otosclerosis, it is crucial that surgeons be in full command of the many nuances involved in this extraordinarily challenging surgery. Authors Chris de Souza, Marcos V. Goycoolea, and Neil M. Sperling have written a comprehensive text, Otosclerosis: Diagnosis, Evaluation, Pathology, Surgical Techniques, and Outcomes, for otologic surgeons seeking to provide treatment with the most current surgical techniques. As a guide to performing stapedectomies, this book is a concise and practical aid paired with an invaluable atlas developed by internationally acknowledged experts. These full-color photos and illustrations are effective learning tools for ensuring the best surgical results. Furthermore, the experience and techniques offered by these experts have been gleaned through years of success performing this demanding procedure.

The accompanying DVD includes 15 videos that demonstrate a step-by-step approach to performing stapedectomy procedures. The young surgeon studying stapes surgeries will find these videos applicable to challenges specific to this surgery, and seasoned surgeons will find these videos to be a convenient resource.

Part VII includes Chapters 20-26 and serves as an altas with beautiful step-by-step illustrations and photos.

With both theoretical and practical aspects addressed succinctly, yet thoroughly, through contributions from the following acclaimed international experts, Otosclerosis: Diagnosis, Evaluation, Pathology, Surgical Techniques, and Outcomes, will be an authoritative text for years to come.
