Original contributionReceived 18 April 2010. Available online 15 September 2010. AbstractCartilage has shown to be a promising graft material to close tympanic membrane perforations. However, due to its rigid quality, doubts are raised regarding its sound conduction properties. It has been suggested that acoustic benefit may be obtained by thinning the cartilage. We describe our innovative method for harvesting tragal cartilage from the same endaural incision and also describe preparation of the graft by slicing it. We present our 3-year experience of shield cartilage type 1 tympanoplasty using sliced tragal cartilage–perichondrium composite graft. AimThe aim of this study was to prove the success rate of our technique of shield cartilage tympanoplasty using sliced tragal cartilage graft in terms of functional and anatomic results. Study designRetrospective analysis of type 1 cartilage tympanoplasties using sliced tragal cartilage was carried out in MIMER Medical College and Sushrut ENT Hospital during May 2005 to January 2008 with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Method and materialsA total of 223 ears were operated by our technique. ResultsThe overall success rate of our technique was 98.20% in terms of perforation closure and air bone gap closure within 7.06 ± 3.39 dB. The success rates in the various age group are as follows: 11 to 20 years, 97.67%; 21 to 40 years, 99.12%; and 41 to 60 years, 96.96%. ConclusionOur technique of type 1 cartilage tympanoplasty achieves good anatomic and functional results. Article Outline

Review of my book by Dr .V.Anand
The Authors have collected large number of cases and have photographed the normal and pathological conditions of middle ear.
There are excellent endoscopic illustration of very rare conditions as well as common. But some photos are not clear
This books covers majority of topics to give wider dimension of ear pathologies.
The colour photographs are self explanatory, realistic and brilliant.
The footnotes are explanatory and crisp. This book will help budding otologists to learn from these illustrations. This work will help students of otology to diagnose middle ear pathology and to formulate proper management for the patients. This book also serves to emphasize on the importance of documentation.

The book is easy to read and has lucid presentation with nice formatting .This Atlas will be boon to MBBS students, ENT post graduates, students in Audiology, Speech & Hearing sciences as well as practicing doctors & ENT specialists.

review of my book by Dr.Nilesh.N.Madkikar
'Endoscopic Color Atlas of Ear Diseases 'written by Dr Mubarak M. Khan and Dr Sapna R. Parab(published by Jaypee Brothers) represents An excellent clinical compilation of various Otological disorders that is seldom is seen in one book.
Dr. Mubarak Khan has always been a teacher with that extra edge that helps make students understand a subject better, and I have been just one of the thousands that have benefited. This color atlas published by him and Dr. Sapna Parab is a medium which has given the opportunity for all students / general practitioners' to gain the most that one book can offer in clinical otology.
I have always believed in the sense of vision that can leave an everlasting imprint on the minds of all. This book is a beautiful picturesque assembly of almost all the clinical disorders that an ENT surgeon is bound to encounter in day to day practice, some of which are not so easy to diagnose, and some rarely seen. Dr Mubarak Khan's 16 years of dedication and passion towards otology is clearly visible in each page of the 163 page atlas which contains 271 high quality clinical pictures making this an excellent otologic atlas for all to own.
It's with great pleasure and confidence that I recommend 'Endoscopic Color Atlas of Ear Diseases ' to all my colleagues and juniors.

review of my book by Prof. Manish Munjal
Otology is an intriguing subdiscipline of otolaryngology –head and neck surgery, which during our formative years appears glamorous but later only the hardened few, i.e. those who have mastered the anatomy of the ear on either side of the tympanic membrane survive, to practice otology. The authors have painstakingly produced a comprehensive atlas with lucid and relevant text which addresses normal and diseased state of tympanic membrane, ear canal and middle ear. The masterpiece pivoted on the concept of “the mind recollects and applies”, which it has seen, has introduced, “tele-otoscopy”, vis a vis with far better illumination and excellent clarity contrary to the traditional outpatient Bull’s lamp or otoscopic examination and the time consuming cumbersome examination under microscope. The book shall be boon for the medschool novice and those already inducted in the fold of otolaryngology as even minute details like findings of both ears individually, which are sometimes are confusing are taken care of. It is an update for the specialist treating otological pathologies as it is a “photogallery” of clinical findings accumulated over a period of time. A sequele of the book covering middle ear pathologies in detail would be eagerly awaited. The book is a reflection of the current knowledge of otology and perplexing queries, it is hoped that it stimulates the reader to seek an answer to their queries to provide better patient care.

Review of our book by Dr. Haritosh Velankar
Traditionally the field of Otology has suffered due to poor visualisation and understanding of the common ear conditions by the undergraduate student. As a result the diagnosis & referrals of the ear diseases by the family physicians, leaves much to be desired.
With the advent of Otoendoscopy lot of teaching hospitals are using this as a tool to educate the undergraduate students. In this respect the "Endoscopic Color Atlas of Ear Diseases" is a milestone in educating not only the undergraduate student and the family physician but also post graduate students & budding otologists.
The high quality photographs not only illustrate common ear diseases like acute & chronic suppurative otitis media, serous otitis media but also uncommon & dangerous condittions like glomus tumor.
This atlas by Dr Mubarak Khan & Dr. Sapna Parab has raised the bar in the diagnosis of ear diseases & will benefit not only students and practitioners but the society as a whole.

It is roughly estimated that 4% of our population is suffering from some kind of ear pathology out of which majority suffer from chronic middle ear infection. In spite of significant development of training otologists, there is still a wide gap between requirement and availability of trained otologists. This perhaps is due to insufficient number of otology centers and inadequate instrumentation for diagnosing middle ear pathology. Dr Mubarak Muhamed Khan and Dr Sapna Ramkrishna Parab have painstakingly collected a large number of cases and have photographed the pathological conditions of middle ear. This monogram will help budding otologists to learn from these photographs. This atlas is a well-documented book which will help all the otologists. There are excellent illustrations of very rare conditions as well as common conditions. This work will not only help students of otology to diagnose middle ear pathology but also help them in their practice to formulate therapy for patients. This atlas should be like a Bible to all and should remain in possession of all young and old otolaryngologists during treating ear conditions. |
