University Hospital Essen, Germany

The Handbook of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (Third Edition) is a very well structured and reliable reference for everyone working in the field of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology today. Edited by Dr. David Goldenberg and Dr. Bradley Goldstein, two internationally renowned experts with many years of clinical and academic experience, the book reflects their thorough knowledge of the specialty and their understanding of what clinicians really need in daily practice. One of the greatest strengths of this handbook is its clear and consistent structure. Each chapter follows the same logical format: key features, clinical presentation, differential diagnoses, diagnostic workup, and treatment options. This makes it easy to quickly find the most relevant information, whether you are looking up a basic question or reviewing a more complex clinical scenario. The scope of the book is impressive. It covers all major areas of otolaryngology, including general ENT, otology and neurotology, rhinology, laryngology, pediatric otolaryngology, head and neck oncology, endocrine surgery, facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, and perioperative care. Each section is written by recognized experts in their respective fields, ensuring that the information is accurate, up to date, and clinically relevant. The third edition has been carefully updated and expanded to reflect the latest developments in the specialty. New topics have been added, such as ENT manifestations of COVID-19 and advances in imaging and surgical technology. At the same time, the editors have managed to keep the book compact and practical. High-quality illustrations, tables, and clinical algorithms further enhance its usability, allowing complex content to be understood at a glance. Another notable strength is its versatility. The handbook is equally suitable for medical students seeking a solid foundation, residents preparing for examinations, and experienced clinicians who need a quick reference. It offers the right balance between brevity and detail, making it valuable in the clinic, the operating room, or during on-call situations. In summary, the Handbook of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (Third Edition) is a comprehensive, reliable, and easy-to-use resource. It is evident that the editors and contributors know the field inside and out and have invested great care in making this book as useful as possible. For anyone involved in ENT, it is a reference that you will turn to frequently and one that can be recommended without hesitation.
