Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the pathological conditions present in chronic catarrhal otitis media, discussing why other measures to relieve it frequently fail and offering methods proposed by the author to alleviate the pressure on the labyrinth as well as tinnitus and dizziness. The author first describes the condition, its progression, and the problems found with current treatments. He then proposes a new method, the resection of the long process of the incus to remedy the situation. The author argues that the incus is not necessary for hearing and that its absence will actually improve the patient's condition. He explains that this procedure is advantageous over others because it is direct, does not risk damaging the chorda tympani nerve, and does not cause any traction on the stapes. There are disadvantages, such as the tendency for suppuration, but these are not as serious as the risks and potential complications of other procedures. The author includes details on how to perform the operation and the indications for it. This book is a valuable resource for otolaryngologists who treat chronic catarrhal otitis media and are looking for alternative methods to alleviate symptoms and improve hearing.
