Review:

Praise for this book:

"Written by a master in his field...can be regarded as the standard reference and surgical guide for this subject." -- The Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England

The beauty of this book is that it takes us through a step-by-step approach of Dr. Fisch's techniques, which build upon one another as the book progresses...The authors do a great job of referring both forward and backward in the book to previously mentioned schematics so the reader can try to take in all the information and help bridge the different steps together and apply it in different situation...Dr. Fisch makes it very simple for the surgeons to understand the absolute contraindications and things to look out for and to avoid while performing the various procedures...this book is a great addition for any otologic surgeon to provide them with an expanded armamentarium to handle otologic procedures.--Otology & Neurotology

"[Four stars] Provides a step-by-step description of all otologic operations...over 800 illustrations and they are all necessary...an extremely useful book written by one of the masters in this field...nicely [incorporates] new innovations."--Doody's Review

"Represents all that most of us will ever need to know about middle-ear surgery. It is written by a master in his field, a prolific author, teacher, and, above all, a surgeon...The scans presented are relevant and illustrate the pathology well. Line diagrams used throughout the book are clear and easy to follow...One is taken step by step through the various surgical processes in such a logical way that one is tempted to wonder why one never through of some of the solutions before...This second edition can be regarded as the standard reference and surgical guide for this subject...Few surgeons will ever amass Fisch's experience but, with this book, they will be prepared to tackle almost all eventualities."--The Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England
