This superbly illustrated atlas provides laryngologists with the base skills required to undertake all kinds of laryngeal phonosurgery procedures, prior to testing out one's skill set in the operating room or office on real patients. It guides the reader through the anatomy and physiology of the larynx (as they relate to the procedures) and various office and O.R.-based phonosurgical procedures, using easy-to-follow instructions and labeled photos. As such, otolaryngologists and otolaryngologists-in-training can confidently rely on this new resource to aid in honing their skills in a comfortable and risk-free environment. Currently, there is no similar book available. Although several phonosurgery books have been published, they focus on the "in vivo" scenario as opposed to the dissection lab, or "in vitro" scenario. In producing this atlas, the authors' stated aim is to formalize the training of common and complex phonosurgical procedures, so as to ultimately improve healthcare delivery to patients suffering from voice disorders.

Il libro costituisce un elemento di interesse perché le diverse professionalità che ruotano intorno alla gestione della voce e delle sue alterazioni, convergono in un'opera unitaria. Vi si trovano infatti fonochirurghi, foniatri e logopedisti di diversa estrazione ed esperienza. La gestione della voce viene affrontata secondo ottiche differenti: quella del medico che deve risolvere una malattia laringea, quella del medico che deve progettare un intervento riabilitativo, quella del logopedista che deve non solo progettare ma anche eseguire un programma riabilitativo su un disturbo della voce, quella del foniatra e del logopedista che concorrono a costruire una voce artistica. Il libro si divide in sei parti principali: la prima tratta la genesi della voce. La seconda parte esplora i differenti aspetti della valutazione vocale per le finalità cliniche e comincia con una riflessione su cosa e perché è necessario eseguire una valutazione. La terza parte presenta le differenti condizioni cliniche, con importanti contributi per comprendere la natura mista della disfonia, andando dai casi non organici fino ai disturbi motori centrali. Le parti quattro e cinque affrontano i trattamenti medico, chirurgico e riabilitativo. Infine, l'ultima parte è un bonus scientifico, in cui sono presentate situazioni particolari, che trasformeranno questa lettura in importanti riferimenti per almeno indirizzare un paziente a un consulto specifico.

La pratica logopedica rivolta ai disturbi della voce si avvale tradizionalmente di un corpus di esercizi che appartengono a me
