Description

Unique textbook explores current and future applications of auditory brain implantsResearch on the auditory brainstem implant (ABI) has evolved from a highly specialized, narrow field to one involving a wide spectrum of disciplines.

Neurotologists, audiologists, otolaryngologists, and neurosurgeons are on the front lines of treatment, while many other specialists play active roles.

Auditory Brainstem Implants by renowned ABI experts Eric P.

Wilkinson and Marc S. Schwartz is the first dedicated book on ABIs published to date.

The state-of-the-art monograph brings together a rich array of materials and resources from an impressive group of pioneering clinicians from around the world. The text starts with introductory chapters encompassing the history and development of ABIs; relevant neuroanatomy and physiology; imaging of the cochlea, cochlear nerve, brainstem, and auditory system; and clinical indications for ABIs.

Surgical chapters detail translabyrinthine, retrosigmoid, and retrolabyrinthine approaches, pediatric applications, auditory midbrain implants, device-specific engineering, and intraoperative monitoring.

Auditory testing, performance variables, and results are also reviewed.

The final chapters focus on innovative future directions, such as penetrating multisite microelectrodes and the use of optogenetics. Key HighlightsIn-depth analyses and overviews enable clinicians from different disciplines to expand their armamentarium and solidify current areas of expertiseUnique material on the relevant neuroanatomy of brainstem implants improves understanding of ABI challenges and outcomesDescription of ABI results in tone languages demonstrates applications in special populationsPediatric topics including evaluation and surgery and implant outcomes from the Hacettepe University team provide invaluable treatment pearlsInsightful perspectives on programming, rehabilitation, and outcome assessment in adults enhance knowledgeTrainee and practicing otolaryngologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, audiologists, and speech pathologists will benefit from reading this comprehensive ABI resource, either cover-to-cover or by consulting specific chapters.
