Preface
This book is intended for the medical student, physician-in-training, or
Otolaryngology resident, or as a quick reference for the practitioner of
Otolaryngology. This volume is not meant to be encyclopedic, since the
breadth of Otolaryngology knowledge is so large.
Instead, it is meant to be a pocket book that can be an easy reference
for the student or practitioner. It covers common otolaryngologic disor-
ders and is organized by anatomic site, disease entity, presentation, or
procedure. Current references are included for further reading and more
in-depth information. It is hoped that physicians and surgeons at all levels
will find this book valuable.
The authors would like to thank Kevin Kochanski, William Lamsback, and
Nancy Wolitzer, our developmental editors at Oxford University Press, for
all of their assistance in organizing this volume, and David Cognetti and
Berrylin Ferguson for their help in editing the manuscript. In addition,
we are indebted to Myung Song of Woodstock, New York, for her medical
illustrations in Chapter 16, on facial plastic surgery and reconstruction.
