SURGERY OF THE NECK

FROM THE FOREWORD

This book forms a great compendium of the essential surgical procedures and techniques in the region of the head and neck and covers the relative anatomy and diagnostic fundamental plastic and rehabilitative procedures. This comprehensive, up-to-date reference source should be of use to general surgeons, plastic surgeons, otolaryngologists, oncologists and maxilla-facial surgeons, as well as surgeons specializing in the head and neck. The strength of this publication lies in the surgical talent and familiarity of the surgical contributors who describe their personal operative approach and those of others with objectivity. This is true especially in the chapter on thyroid surgery where they have exposed all the controversial points with impartiality. It is also true in the management of the patient with malignacy where surgery, radiation and chemotherapy are taken into consideration.
