Features: The writing of this textbook, while inheriting the overall framework of traditional textbooks, includes the following supplements and arrangements:
① Each section on otology, laryngology, rhinology, and audiology has been expanded to include content such as "Craniofacial Diseases," "Jaw Diseases," "Neck Diseases," and "Lateral Skull Base Diseases." At the same time, it takes into account the completeness of the medical education system, highlights the characteristics of this discipline, and avoids repetition with other subjects such as Surgery.
② Each section is organized in the following order: "Applied Anatomy and Physiology," "Symptomatology," "Examination Methods," "Treatment Methods," "Congenital Diseases," "Traumatic Diseases," "Inflammatory Diseases," and "Tumors."
③ Each section includes dedicated chapters to introduce the latest advancements in the discipline's diagnosis and treatment, such as "Introduction to Nasal Endoscopic Surgery" and "Introduction to Nasal and Anterior Skull Base Surgery" in otology, and "Clinical Phonetics" and "Introduction to Laryngeal Laser Surgery" in laryngology.
④ In otology, the applied anatomy of the lateral skull base is introduced to help students grasp the anatomy of interdisciplinary fields. Common inner ear diseases, ear and lateral skull base tumors are discussed in separate chapters. New developments such as "Tinnitus" and "Advances in Molecular Biology Research on Hearing Loss" are also included.
⑤ General examination equipment, commonly used drugs, and physical therapy methods for otology, laryngology, and rhinology are grouped together in the same section to facilitate teaching and learning.
⑥ At the end of each chapter, there is one or more review questions, and at the end of each section, key references are listed to assist students in self-study and discussion, deepening their understanding and mastery of the textbook content.
⑦ An English-Chinese bilingual index is appended at the end of the book for easy reference and learning of professional foreign vocabulary.
