It also describes in great detail the management of complications associated with cholesteatoma and cholesteatoma surgery as well as many unusual conditions. Full-color illustrations have been added, wherever necessary, to further simplify the understanding of surgical steps.Following are some of the remarkable features of this two-volume atlas:More than 2,000 high-quality pictures and full-color illustrations that will help surgeons navigate through every possible condition of cholesteatoma disease and its management.Volume I comprises all surgical procedures explained in a systematic manner, starting from the management of the earliest stage of the disease to the most extensive spread of cholesteatoma.Volume II deals with the management of complications of cholesteatoma disease and the iatrogenic complications in great detail.All common conditions have been explained by at least two to three cases.The present form of the atlas is attributed to decades of experience of operating upon thousands of cases of primary cholesteatoma and revision cholesteatoma. Both new and experienced ENT surgeons will benefit from this comprehensive surgical approach, which covers all possible conditions of cholesteatoma.

The pandemic is by no means over. Although we have vaccines, many conflicting reports regarding their efficacy and safety have confused many. This has resulted in a substantial size of the population to stay away from being vaccinated. Until now there are no antiviral medications that we can use to effectively halt the progress of the disease in those who have contracted it.We are thus left to deal with COVID-19 without any cure in sight. As there is no magic bullet in sight, we are left with our ingenuity, courage, and compassionate bedside care, using our tools to the best of our ability. Employing this approach, we believe early treatment may assuage this terrible disease.This book deals with this appalling situation in a comprehensive manner by providing health care workers with solutions and strategies to deal effectively and efficiently to help patients overcome this terrible viral infection. These are strategies and solutions that have worked very well in real-life situations and have proved to be effective and reliable. These take into account not only various stages of the COVID-19 infection but also deal with the immense isolation that the disease has caused along with other satellite problems.This book not only helps to deal with the health care crisis but goes beyond by anticipating and preventing possible long-term complications and sequelae that follow COVID-19 infections.The unique selling points of this book include:A global international and practical perspective to care written by international authors.The majority of the authors are not only clinicians, scientists, and scholars, they have also personally cared for thousands of patients afflicted and critically ill with COVID-19. It is thorough in its approach and covers everything from epidemiology to management.
