The now classic "Pocket Pasha"—Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery: Clinical Reference Guide—returns for its sixth edition. This universally standard guidebook concisely reviews all aspects of otolaryngology including rhinology, laryngology, otology, plastic surgery, sleep medicine, and more. All chapters focus on the key basic science and clinical information to quickly digest the essentials. This "high-yield" book retains a "by residents, for residents" feel while also including expert content useful not only for students and residents but also allied health professionals, primary care providers, and other health providers. The concise, outline format is useful for rapid reading during urgent clinical situations as well as a last-minute refresher before rounds. The guide has proven essential for board review and maintenance of certification exams.

The sixth edition of this bestselling reference features numerous improvements, including: 

• Line-by-line refresh and update of all relevant material
• Additional images, figures, and charts
• Expanded focus on evidence-based practice
• Addition of latest treatment modalities (including investigative medications)
• A host of new contributing authors and subspecialized leading authorities

• A PluralPlus companion website containing a digital bank of board-like study questions with explanation

Review

“The book closes with a very nicely reproduced series of well labelled scans, mostly of normal anatomy and there is also the plural Plus website with a digital bank of Questions and model answers. The book remains an invaluable quick reference on any ORL topic, a great last-minute revision at the station or departure lounge before the end of training exam, but a highly entertaining read for the most senior.”
—Liam M Flood, FRCS, FRCSI, in Journal of Laryngology & Otology (November 2021)
