Snapshots in Ear, Nose & Throat Head and Neck Surgery

This comprehensive guide to ENT and Head and Neck Surgery covers, for undergraduate medical students and trainees, all the important topics in Otorhinolaryngology that they will encounter in clinical practice. The book consists of seven sections, Otology; Nose and Paranasal Sinuses; Larynx; Pharynx and Oral Cavity; Oesophagus; and ENT Surgeries. Each section discusses diseases and disorders associated with that anatomical region.

The final section features discussion on recent advances in the field, including Lasers in ENT, Cryosurgery, Radiotherapy in Head and Neck Cancer, Chemotherapy, and AIDS in ENT. This extensive, up-to-date guide in a manageable size includes more than 120 images to enhance learning.
