Salivary Gland Disorders

Co-edited by Eugene N. Myers, a world-famous expert in the field, this has got to be the last word on salivary gland disorders. These disorders cover a broad array of diseases, both benign and malignant. Thus, the contents of this book have been organized to reflect the diversity of salivary gland anatomy, physiology, and dysfunction in various states of disease. This means that the evolution of the field and its diagnostic and therapeutic management are better demonstrated. The text addresses practical diagnostic approaches, then continues with congenital and acquired salivary dysfunction. Finally, it tackles assessment and therapy for benign and malignant tumors of the salivary glands. Contributions have come from internationally known authorities in this field, and photographs and sketches are included to illustrate the disorders and surgical techniques described. Covering everything from practical diagnosis to gland tumor therapy, this really is a crucial work for any surgeon working in the facial or neck regions.
