This book is written by renowned experts with years of experience in head and neck tumor surgery. It consists of 13 chapters, comprehensively and detailedly discussing over 100 surgical techniques and treatment methods for tumors in various locations, including neck tumors, pharyngeal tumors, laryngeal tumors, nasal and paranasal tumors, oral tumors, salivary gland tumors, thyroid tumors, ear tumors, skin tumors, and skull base tumors. Each surgical technique is clearly described, including indications, patient positioning, anesthesia methods, steps, surgical key points, technique application, and technique evaluation, accompanied by over 800 operation diagrams for intuitive understanding, facilitating clinical doctors' comprehension and mastery of surgical methods.
Before introducing surgical techniques for each region, the book provides a detailed description of the local anatomy and adjacent structures of that region. It not only introduces the operation methods and steps of various head and neck surgical techniques but also emphasizes the selection of techniques under different conditions and the key points and technique application of high-end, advanced surgeries. In addition to classic techniques, the book introduces new surgical techniques and technologies created by domestic and international experts in recent years, the clinical application of various tissue flaps, the use of minimally invasive surgery to treat thyroid tumors, and transnasal treatment for pituitary tumors. It also covers the fabrication and application of facial and cranial defect prostheses.
This book is a summary of the experience of head and neck surgeons on the front lines of clinical practice. It is comprehensive, rich in illustrations, with a focus on "techniques" and "methods," featuring numerous exquisite color illustrations. Unlike common "surgical techniques" books, it integrates scientific rigor, advanced concepts, and practicality, providing a relatively comprehensive and systematic reflection of the current development trends in head and neck tumor surgery. It is an invaluable learning reference for head and neck surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, and faculty and students of medical schools.
