Main description:

This book is a complete guide to the diagnosis and management of ENT diseases for undergraduate medical students and trainees in otolaryngology.

Divided into nine sections, the text begins with an overview of the anatomy and physiology of each part of the otolaryngologic system and explains bacteria, antibiotics, fungi and viruses, and HIV.

The following sections cover numerous diseases and disorders in each otolaryngologic region - ear, nose and sinuses, oral cavity and salivary glands, pharynx and oesophagus, larynx, trachea and bronchus; and neck. The final chapters discuss surgical procedures, imaging, radio- and chemotherapy, anaesthesia, and laser surgery.

The second edition has been fully revised to provide students with the latest information, and features many new topics, including a clinical highlights section to assist preparation for examinations, and a comprehensive appendix of 101 clinical secrets, problem-oriented clinical cases, and miscellaneous key points.
