Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue entitled “Clinical Diagnosis and Surgical Strategies Update on Ear Disorders: 2nd Edition”. In our previous Special Issue entitled “Clinical Diagnosis and Surgical Strategies Update on Ear Disorders”, we collected original articles covering a wide range of topics and systematic review papers. This is a continuation of the previous series.
Recent advances in neurosciences, technology and imaging techniques have greatly improved our understanding and treatment of ear disorders. Electrophysiology and neuroscientific approaches are crucial for improving our understanding of the mechanisms underlying pathologies, such as congenital or acquired sensorineural hearing loss, autoimmune or metabolic hearing loss, otogenic facial palsy, Menière's disease, and tinnitus, among others.
We are now in an era of "minimally invasive surgery": chronic otitis media, cholesteatoma, otosclerosis, profound deafness and acoustic neuroma can now be treated both microscopically and endoscopically. Furthermore, other interventions are starting to consider lasers, robotic surgery, and image-guided navigation as other viable options.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present original studies and state-of-the-art systematic reviews related to clinical updates on middle and inner ear diseases, as well as cutting-edge original research on innovative surgical techniques, both in children and adults.
