- Focuses on the midline of the neck, not as a part of neck swellings
- Provides full coverage of congenital and acquired lesions whether solid or cystic, benign or malignant
- Includes a chapter about patient education and proper follow-up in order to optimize outcomes
The book provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges and debates on the diagnosis and treatment of midline neck swellings to clarify some uncertainties, make suggestions for resolving others, and establish strategies for achieving therapeutic success.
In addition to information on the surgical anatomy of the neck with particular emphasis on midline cervical regions, and the classification and clinical approach for diagnosis and management of neck swellings, the chapters explore cervical lymphadenopathy, swellings of the submental region, swellings of the hyoid bone region, swellings of the laryngeal/pharyngeal region, swellings of the tracheal region, and swellings of the supra-space of Burns. The last chapter emphasizes the importance of scheduling regular follow-ups as well as patient counselling and education.
The volume, enriched with color images and flowcharts, will be a key resource for head and neck surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, endocrinologists, oncologists, pediatricians, and clinicians of other specialties as they face the most challenging midline neck swellings and work towards providing each patient with the best possible outcome.
