Surgical anatomy and pathology of the middle ear by Jan Christoffer Luers, Karl-Bernd Hüttenbrink via Journal of Anatomy Abstract Middle ear surgery is strongly influenced by anatomical and functional characteristics of the middle ear. The complex anatomy means a challenge for the otosurgeon who moves between preservation or improvement of highly important functions (hearing, balance, facial motion) and eradication of diseases. Of these, perforations of the tympanic membrane, chronic otitis media, tympanosclerosis and cholesteatoma are encountered most often in clinical practice. Mode... περισσότερα »
