Opis

I have been honoured to write the foreword to this European Textbook on Surgery of Larynx and Trachea. This multi-author textbook under the editorship of Professor Marc Remacle and Professor Hans Eckel is de? nitely a milestone in European laryngology and for the European Laryngological Society. The editors and the chapter authors belong to the leading laryngologists in Europe. The book covers a broad ? eld within larynx and trachea and represents the state of art within European laryngology today. The book covers physiology, phoniatrics, open, and endoscopic operative techniques in adults and in pediatrics. Even assisting drugs used in clinical practice as steroids, ? brin glue, mitomycin C, cidofovir, etc. have been covered. The book is easy to read, but goes into depths of representative ? elds. On the whole, the book is very well illustrated, not only with endoscopic photos, but also with a lot of illustrative drawings which complement and add to the quality of the chapters. I am sure that this is a book that will be read, not only by laryngologists in Europe and outside, but also used in the teaching of residents and those superspecializing in laryngology. As one of the founding members of ELS and President of EUFOS, I must congra- late all the authors and editors of this European Textbook on Larynx and Trachea. The book is an example of the standard and quality of European ORL-HNS and especially laryngology today. The book is de? nitely very promising for the future.

Recenzje

"A credit to the Editors and the contributors, as well as the publishers, in getting this publication from the authors to the study desk of the readers ... .  Every budding Otolaryngologist and even those considered experienced Laryngologists should avail of their own copy of this volume, as there is much clinical practice information contained within and, if additional information is required, then the over 1,750 references should be researched. This book remains good value for money." (Patrick J Bradley, The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, October 27, 2022)

Blurb

This fully revised and expanded second edition provides a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the fundamentals of contemporary larynx and trachea surgery, presenting the state of the art in European laryngology. The book includes the most recent developments in surgery, such as robotic surgery, as well as novel materials such as the CO2 waveguide, and describes the technical aspects of the various procedures in detail to allow readers to implement them. It particularly focuses on issues like the treatment of papilloma, the transoral surgery of T3-T4 larynx cancer and scarring of the vocal fold. The contributors are experts in the field, mainly from the European Laryngological Society and European Head & Neck Society, but also from America and Asia. This textbook is a valuable resource for ENT trainees and those superspecializing in laryngology, as well as for experienced laryngologists and head & neck surgeons.
