Features: This book consists of two volumes. The first volume covers otology, rhinology, and related fields, while the second volume includes diseases of the oral cavity, larynx, pharynx, trachea, esophagus, and neck. In recent years, surgeries in these fields have been developing at an astonishing pace, with representative techniques including microscopic microsurgery, endoscopic surgery, and laser surgery. The microsurgery section primarily focuses on otological surgeries for the treatment of chronic middle ear inflammation. Support laryngoscopy surgery has now taken a significant position. The application of endoscopic technology in rhinology allows complex anatomical structures to be clearly visualized, thereby accelerating the progress of surgeries in the field. The advancements in surgical techniques brought by new technologies not only extend traditional methods but also give rise to many new areas that have revolutionized concepts. Skull base surgery and surgical approaches extending into the mediastinum are markers of the progress in surgical advancements at the intersection of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery. The development of these procedures also requires collaboration with neurosurgery, thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, and plastic surgery.
