Essentials of Ear, Nose & Throat

Essentials of Ear, Nose & Throat is an extensive guide to diseases of the ear, nose and throat.

The book is divided into nine sections, beginning with history and examination of ENT diseases. Subsequent sections cover the ear, nose and paranasal sinuses, oral cavity and salivary gland, pharynx and oesophagus, larynx, trachea and bronchus, and the neck. Each section includes chapters on anatomy, symptoms and examination, and a broad range of disorders.

Each chapter begins with specific learning objectives and questions for students to answer. Important clinical aspects are highlighted by information boxes throughout the book. Each chapter ends with self-evaluation exercises, including MCQs, filling in blanks, and true or false sentences. Some chapters provide additional pearls and problem-oriented cases.

The final sections of the book provide information on operative procedures and instruments, and related disciplines such as imaging, radiotherapy, laser surgery, and HIV. Essentials of Ear, Nose and Throat includes nearly 330 full colour images and illustrations, enhancing this ideal resource for undergraduates and ENT residents.
