Oxford Handbook of ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

This book, like all the other Oxford Handbooks, aims to provide a compact, but comprehensive, guide to medical practice. It has been designed to slip inside the pocket of a white coat and to be rapidly retrieved for reference. There are many blank facing pages for notes and for amending or annotating the text to fit in with local practice. The core text is based on an anatomical list of ear, nose, and throat (ENT) diseases. There are separate sections on ENT examinations, investigations, common operations, ward care, and emergencies. There is also a separate section on the work of other ENT health professionals. Chapter 3 on ‘common methods of presentation’ is unique for this type of book. This chapter is a guide for dealing with patients as they present in clinical practice. It also provides a convenient way of accessing the relevant chapter in the anatomical list. New to this edition is an overview of ENT conditions and their management in other parts of the world.
