Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Alan Micco, MD (Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine)
Description: This book covers the breadth of the entire field of otolaryngology. It is accompanied by an online site that allows ready access to further information and has links to pertinent, current, and up-to-date, peer-reviewed articles that are cited in the print version, as well as further reading material. This updated edition includes more information and current practice guidelines.
Purpose: The purpose is to cover all subspecialties of otolaryngology. This goal is met through both the in-print literature and supporting multimedia online reference materials and links. These act to augment the book and provide further reading where appropriate.
Audience: The book is written for a wide variety of audiences according to the authors, but mainly targets otolaryngologic physicians, from new interns to multidecade practitioners. It also could act as suitable reference material for medical students undergoing a rotation in otolaryngology or studying any amount of disease processes in the head and neck region. The authors are well-versed and renowned for their knowledge.
Features: This a comprehensive, in-depth, and up-to-date review of the practice of all facets of otorhinolaryngology. This eighth edition contains the most up-to-date clinical practice guidelines, new research, and expansion into new realms of otorhinolaryngology such as sialoendoscopy, biological pharmaceuticals, and sleep surgeries.
Assessment: This comprehensive three-volume set serves as a seminal reference for any otorhinolaryngologist.
– Doody’s Review Service

The chapters written by true world leaders, however, are richly crafted from years of experience, expertise, and an ability to interpret evidence at a level which fresh young authors lack. I’m a sucker for grey-haired wisdom, whereas most readers will open a textbook searching for a simple, factual answer to fill a self-identified gap in their knowledge. This book achieves the latter in exemplar.

I must concede, therefore, that I have no criticism of this masterpiece. It achieves its laudable aim of covering the entire specialty in three affordable volumes. It is inclusive of valuable wisdom from our sibling specialties. It is up-to-date, and each chapter offers suggestions for online searches for newer evidence. It is replete with the wisdom of established international experts, yet it also looks to the future of our fascinating specialty. It would suffice as a sole text for higher examination preparation and will be an essential addition to the shelves of every medical library.
