1. The present edition is revised, updated, and expanded. New clinical photographs, diagrams, tables, and flow charts have been added to make the subject clear. A unique feature of this edition is whiteboard lectures and videos, depicting through animations, the surgical procedures.

1. The definitive textbook covering ear, nose, throat, head and neck surgery in all its diversity for medical students, residents and practitioners. It contains chapters on the anatomy of the neck, thyroid and parathyroid, bacteria and antibiotics, fungi and viruses, diagnostic imaging, including CT anatomy of ENT, and anesthesia.

1. Increasingly, ENT and head and neck surgery have been subspecialized. Therefore, the key writers received expert feedback but also managed to maintain the initial target market and style homogeneity. It targets those new to the specialty quite clearly. For those starting in this area, it is a primary: medical schools, GPs cultivating a particular interest, nurses and paramedics, and specialist junior doctors who need a working guide.

    

   The format is defined as a 'illustrated text in color' and is dealt with on a double-page spread of each issue. By compressing all the information on any particular topic into a set space, the authors carefully select what they contain as essential information. The presentation involves the extensive use of color in photos, illustrations, diagrams, and charts, all within a soft-covered A4 volume. There is a review box at the end of each line. This is an elegant presentation and it is easy to easily locate the details one wants. The wording is short and to the mark. It is highly didactic and generates some controversial statements as such, although none of these matters are too much considering who the book is aimed at. In addition, if the book is used as a educational tool, they may be valuable discussion points.

    

   The images are good for successfully illustrating disease mechanisms that can assist in diagnosis. Specially strong were those of tympanic membrane and oral cavity. In future versions there may be room for growing their number and size. In contrast, some of the diagrams seemed a bit laboured and added nothing to what had already been said in the text. For instance, a photograph of an adenoidal child would have been far more useful than the graph of size: age distribution, the details of which were already described in the text. Often, they just didn't have the picture to describe the tuning fork studies.

    

   The writers have elected to leave out nearly all organizational data. To their intended readership, that is entirely right, most of which are unlikely to be working, as it serves to make the book succinct. Many who read this book are likely to use it to immerse themselves in promoting a learning system, to help when meeting a patient with a documented problem, or to re-examine it. It competes with web-based materials and as such, its true strength lies in portability and the ability to incorporate one's own notes. Consequently one of the few complaints is its broad size. It's just not pocket size. However, ultimately, one will have to assume that it is doing what it wants to do and should continue to be a reliable guide for those needing a descriptive and readily available background in the details of the discipline.

1. ENT stands for EAR, NOSE, and THROAT. Otolaryngology is one of the subspecialties of medicine that deals with the conditions of the Ear, Nose and Throat and other related structures of the Head and Neck.

   • Specially aims to help MBBS students but also students preparing for various entrance tests to postgraduate diploma, MD/MS degree courses, and other competitive examination
   • Includes nuggets for rapid review to help solve many MCQs.
   • Also includes mnemonics to recall and reproduce the subject for exam-going students.
   • New clinical photographs, diagrams, tables and flowcharts added

The book is clinically oriented with a practical approach to the patient as before and provides broad insight into the subject for undergraduates. It is hoped that this edition of the book will also prove useful to students of DLO, MS/MD, and DNB (Diplomate National Board) as a foundation course before they take recourse to comprehensive volumes of the subject. It will also be useful to general practitioners, students of nursing, audiology and speech therapy, and to those studying alternative systems of medicine such as Ayurveda, Sidha, Unani and Tibbia, Homeopathy, and Physiotherapy

This edition shows considerable revision to include many new developments and more compact presentations. It is like the first edition. It is extremely well organized, particularly for teaching undergraduates and postgraduates and for use by the general practitioner. Emphasis is placed upon important positive information. Obsolete and unproved concepts and therapeutics are disregarded. Stress is given to common conditions encountered in practice. The diagrams are drawn by the author so as to clarify the text and show early stages rather than late stages of pathology. This enables the reader to recognize disease much earlier, when it is more responsive to therapy. This book is an outstanding contribution in its revised form.
