Excellent Choice for Med Student or Resident
I am currently a fourth year medical student and this book contains a great collection of information that is useful to me. I am sure it will be a useful resource for ENT residents and possibly for practicing doctors, as well. The introductory information covers nearly every "OR Basics" concept I have come across during elective ENT rotations. The chapters that are more specific to otolaryngology offer a very appropriate level of detail for pre-rounding reading and for review before a day in the OR with residents and attendings. I find this text to be similar to Pasha- but with a slightly more in-depth look at the concepts. While this serves as an appropriate adjunct to a true textbook, it is not a replacement- and is not intended to serve as such.This book is the one I have been carrying in my white coat as a trial run- and it has earned the right to stay for a while. If you are a medical student preparing for fourth year ENT electives, it would be very helpful to read some of the high-yield chapters early on during (or before) your rotation. Then supplement as you encounter the conditions found in the various sections of this book.Highly recommended!

No photographs, no illustrations, only a couple of diagrams
It is unacceptable for a textbook of any kind not to have beautiful photographs, illustrations and diagrams. I tried unsuccessfully to download a sample twice then made the mistake if thinking that because the cover was beautifully illustrated, that the textbook would also be.

Paragraph form
I read this as a fourth year medical student / first year resident and would recommend it as a stepping stone after reading ENT secrets, and before Pasha's. It is written in paragraph form and has more information than the bullet form of Pasha's. It is comprehensive in giving the basic foundation for the breadth of otolaryngology.

Important literary tool!
This book should (needs) to be every Emergency Department in every small hospital in the country and every lab coat belonging to residents. It's comprehensive and insightful and an important tool for diagnosing head and neck issues and for quickly defining an appropriate plan of action.Residents and nid-level practitioners who might not have the advantage of seeing a lot of head and neck injuries would find the Handbook an invaluable tool.Destined to be a classic!DRD

Customer Review
This handbook has proven to be an extremely useful reference on the wards. It is compact enough to easily fit in my coat pocket, yet complete enough to address nearly every difficult clinical scenario that I have come across.The set-up and content of the book is easy to navigate. The information contained within its pages is concise and to the point, avoiding the excessive wordiness that plagues other similar publications.Extremely valuable; a must-have for any Otolaryngology Sub-I or junior resident!

Libro eccezionale per preparare odonto e otorino
Per chi mastica un po' di inglese e vuole un libro che abbia su quasi tutto il necessario per prepararsi a questo esame, consiglio vivamente di darci un'occhiata. Il libro è diviso per tematiche ed ogni sezione non è più lunga di 4-5 pagine nelle quali le informazioni sono ben organizzate ed accompagnate da immagini chiare ed essenziali. Spiega con una semplicità disarmante alcuni concetti che io a lezione ho trovato un po' ostici, forse per via della fretta con cui erano stati esposti.Per chi come me ha avuto docenti di anatomia particolarmente esigenti, questo libro, accompagnato da un'integrazione con testi più "anatomici", è l'ideale.Io l'ho trovato a DIECI euro più spese di spedizione dalla Germania ma anche se lo comprate per quaranta, li vale tutti. Lo considero uno dei libri migliori che io abbia comprato per l'università. Se lo integrate anche con gli appunti presi in classe, non avrete bisogno di altro.

Completo, conciso y muy útil, en especial para residentes.
Un excelente manual, que permite crear una visión global de la especialidad y sus alcances, así como un abordaje conciso a los problemas clínicos que enfrenta diariamente el residente de ORL/ENT.Incluye una gran variedad de temas y probablemente no deje escapar ningún punto vital en la especialidad. Muy útil para los primeros años de la residencia en otorrinolaringología, en los que se necesita una buena adaptación y entendimiento de términos, técnicas, patologías y condiciones clínicas, propias de la especialidad.No recomendado para aquellos lectores, que buscan una lectura detallada y exhaustiva, para lo cual existen tratados y compendios de la especialidad. Sin embargo, es un excelente punto de partida para un posterior estudio a profundidad.Totalmente satisfecho con este manual.
