Stell and Maran's Textbook of Head and Neck Surgery and Oncology

Summary:

First written by Philip Stell and Arnold Maran in 1972, Stell and Maran's Textbook of Head and Neck Surgery and Oncology has been revised in both content and approach over the years, to reflect the enormous progress made in the area. Now in its fifth edition, the book remains a key textbook for trainees in otolaryngology and head & neck surgery.

Written with a strong multidisciplinary approach, the book has expanded considerably to include the expertise of editors and contributing authors from a wide variety of backgrounds, including ENT, radiotherapy and pastic surgery, as well as maxillofacial surgery and multidisciplinary support. The result is a much improved balance of content that is thoroughly up to date, and international in flavour.

As a first text for trainee head and neck/ENT surgeons, or as a reference source for practitioners in a variety of related fields, Stell and Maran's Textbook of Head and Neck Surgery and Oncology remains the best illustrated and most up-to-date volume in its field.

•Thoroughly updated to include recent advances in molecular biology and diagnostic imaging
•A greatly expanded section on reconstruction to reflect the importance of this aspect
•An improved balance of content to improve the multidisciplinary approach
•Editors and contributors from a variety of different specialties and nationalities
•Introduction of evidence-based medicine, highlighted clearly in the text
•Better use of colour and re-drawn illustrations to improve the aesthetic appeal of the book
