The aim of this book, like all the other Oxford Handbooks, is 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.
This second edition of a best-selling Oxford Handbook provides a comprehensive guide to the practice of ENT and head and neck surgery in a concise, practical, and easily accessible format. For use on the ward or for revision purposes, this new edition is organized anatomically and each section provides a summary of the essential approach to a specific presenting complaint. Quick access chapters are included detailing emergency conditions and their acute management. This new edition includes expanded sections on anatomy, pediatrics, drugs, practical and surgical procedures, and emergencies. There are new chapters covering ENT manifestations HIV/AIDS and sleep disorders. Still the only pocket-sized reference of ENT available, this handbook is unique in offering diagnostic flowcharts which guide readers based on specific sets of symptoms. Patient-centered and practical, this book represents a more accurate experience for those typically faced with ENT and neck surgery in clinical practice.
The book will be well used and will help guide you through the sometimes complex world of ENT.
