Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Principles and Practice of Modern Otology In the preparation of this work, which is intended for the use of students and practitioners of general medicine, among others the following objects have been kept in view: 1. To modernize the subject. The methods of practice in otology have changed so rapidly that much concerning the subject which was only recently accepted as a standard of guidance is now almost entirely obsolete. This statement is especially true of the suppurative affections of the temporal bone, the treatment of which is now based upon a more thorough knowledge of the anatomy of this bone and its environs, upon more accurate diagnostic methods, and upon more nearly correct medical and surgical principles. The text has been written from the valued personal instruction received from such eminent teachers as J. E. Sheppard of New York, Dundas Grant and Percy Jakins of London, Jansen of Berlin, and Alt of Vienna; from the authors´ personal experience as practitioners and teachers; from the opinions of contemporaries gained by active participation in the several American societies devoted to otology; and, lastly, from recent American and European literature. Of the literature, however, no attempt has been made to give a complete digest. 2. To correct certain traditional beliefs. Several factors have greatly limited the progress of otology in the past. Chief among these are the strangely persistent beliefs that children will outgrow their aural ailments, and that a discharging ear is nothing more than an annoyance, or is even beneficial to the individual. Since neither belief has any basis in fact, and since abundant clinical and postmortem evidence proves the absurdity of both, the effort has been made to point out the far-reaching and harmful results of these traditions, and in their stead - 3. To advocate the earliest possible prophylaxis or treatment. While much, but not too much, attention has recently been given to the surgical aspect of otology, certainly too little has been paid to the prevention of aural affections.
