Associate Professor of Otolaryngology, Dept. of Otolaryngology, Kansas University School of Medicine, Kansas City, KS, USA
Provides a review of the basic and clinical sciences that are the
foundation for the practice of otolaryngology-head and neck
surgery. The topics included are quite diverse, covering the
expansive range of knowledge needed for a complete understanding of
otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. Many of the topics are
approached from both a basic science and clinical viewpoint.
Clinical correlations, which help to make the information relevant
for residents and practicing otolaryngologists, accompany many of
the basic science principles presented. The Self-Test Questions,
for which answers are provided at the end of the book, are very
helpful for the reader to assess his or her understanding of the
concepts presented. This textbook provides a clearly presented and
thorough basic and clinical science foundation, which is
fundamental to the understanding and practice of otolaryngology. No
other textbook in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery currently
serves such a purpose. This book would be an excellent text for
otolaryngology residents to read cover-to-cover early in their
residency training. Indeed, as it was developed from an
otolaryngology basic science course, it would serve as an
outstanding textbook for use in other such courses in training
programs throughout the country. The book would also be useful as a
review text for residents before the annual Otolaryngology Training
Examination or for recent residency graduates preparing for the
boards. In addition, it would be a good reference for practicing
otolaryngologists, providing an update on the current state of
knowledge in the basic and clinical sciences underlying our diverse
specialty.--The LaryngoscopeRecommended for ENT specialists and
residents who wish to keep up with the advances of the basic
sciences that impact the medical and surgical practice of the
