ReviewsFrom the book reviews: "This is a good guide to pathologies of the eustachian tube with an emphasis on routine problems. The intent is to describe the overall function of the eustachian tube and the management of problems from the point of view of a middle ear surgeon. The audience is general otolaryngologists and otologists. ... This excellent book concisely covers the complicated issue of eustachian tube dysfunction." (Akihiro J.

SynopsisThe patulous Eustachian tube is a quite frequent clinical syndrome with many different pathophysiological complaints. Up to now there have been many attempts to help these patients with their symptoms, though none have had particularly long-lasting effects. The internationally renowned authors of this book demonstrate a new conservative treatment regime that has proven to be a breakthrough for these patients. The book is divided into three parts, which cover firstly the anatomy and physiology of the Eustachian tube with the new model of the tubal mechanics. Next, they deal with examination techniques and the evaluation of the new interdisciplinary methods. Finally, the book covers the different treatment options as well as the new concept of physiotherapy and the new invasive treatment., This book, written by international experts, is a detailed guide to the Eustachian tube, with emphasis on those aspects of most relevance to the practitioner. The opening chapters document the clinical anatomy and provide essential information on physiology, with explanation of the new model of tubal mechanics. Diagnosis and therapy for the patulous Eustachian tube are then discussed, placing special emphasis on a novel conservative treatment regimen that has proven to be a breakthrough for patients with this clinical syndrome. A further extensive chapter examines overall function of the Eustachian tube, primarily from the middle ear surgeon's viewpoint. Tuboplasty procedures, including laser tuboplasty, and tympanoplasty are described, and the implications of different middle ear pathologies for surgical treatment are explained. The previously unpublished treatment methods that are described in this book will be invaluable in ensuring the best possible clinical outcomes., This book demonstrates a breakthrough regime in treatment of the patulous Eustachian tube. Covers examination techniques and evaluation of new interdisciplinary methods, as well as treatment options, the new concept of physiotherapy and new invasive treatment.
