Textbook of Laryngology

This book is a comprehensive guide to the latest advances and techniques in laryngology.

Divided into six sections the text begins with an overview of the history and basic anatomy and physiology of the larynx. The following section discusses clinical evaluation, investigation and diagnosis.

The remaining sections cover the management of numerous voice disorders including phonosurgery, treatment of inflammatory, endocrine and functional voice disorders, and airway and swallowing problems.

The final chapter describe recent advances in the field such as laryngeal transplantation, robotic surgery, and vocal cord regeneration.

The book is highly illustrated with intraoperative photographs and diagrams and clinical pearls summarising key points at the end of each chapter, enhance learning.
