Laryngeal Electromyography Third Edition

Laryngeal Electromyography, Third Edition is an easy guide and quick reference for laryngologists, neurologists, physiatrists, and others who wish to learn the procedure of laryngeal electromyography in order to evaluate the integrity of the muscles and nerves of the larynx, and to determine the cause of movement disorders of the vocal folds and make a diagnosis. Thoroughly revised since the previous edition, Laryngeal Electromyography provides the latest advances on electromyographic procedure and diagnostics. This third edition includes concise, practical coverage on the details of the procedure and clinical applications.

Preceded by: Laryngeal electromyography / Robert T. Sataloff ... [et al.]. 2nd ed. c2006.

Synthesized material from the Diagnosis and treatment of voice disorders (4th edition), Professional voice: the science and art of clinical care (4th edition) and Laryngeal Electromyography (3rd edition), with one new chapter.

This book is a reference tool for laryngologists, neurologists, and other electrophysiologists interested in adding laryngeal electromyography to their clinical practices. A means of evaluating the integrity of the muscular and nervous systems of the larynx, laryngeal EMG is an important but currently underused procedure that can enhance accurate laryngeal diagnosis. The authors review the history, science, procedures, and clinical applications of this underutilized diagnostic tool.

"One of three student editions prepared ... from selected chapters of the third edition of Professional voice."--T.p. verso.

This book, endorsed by the European Laryngological Society, is a comprehensive guide to key topics in neurolaryngology, which enables readers to quickly identify and implement solutions in concrete situations likely to arise in everyday clinical practice. It includes detailed information on conditions such as vocal cord paresis/paralysis, laryngeal dystonia, and upper motor neuron disorders and offers clear advice on imaging and assessment, highlighting the role and performance of electromyography. Treatment options are extensively described, and there are individual chapters on functional therapy, botulinum toxin injection, the full range of phonosurgery options (including transoral endoscopic techniques, office-based phonosurgery, framework surgery, and laryngeal reinnervation), and laryngeal transplantation. With numerous accompanying videos, the book is a valuable resource for otorhinolaryngologists, speech pathologists and neurologists.

"Full of information that most ENT surgeons have little experience with...great for exam prep or for a quick read before a presentation...I would recomment that ENT trainees buy this book" Journal of Laranology, March 2012
