technology and reconstruction techniques created the need for this new text appropriate for
the general otolaryngologist head & neck surgeon as well as for the resident. While this is
not a review book per se there are an increasing number of questions regarding trauma in the
Oto Board Exam making this book with its focus on clinical evaluation and treatment concise
format and useful tips another useful tool for review. Head and Neck Trauma has a concise
format but actually comprehensive in its coverage with emphasis on clinical evaluation and
treatment (i.e. 27 short chapters but with an expansive breadth of topics). The additional
