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

First written by Philip Stell and Arnold Maran in 1972, Stell & 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 and neck surgery.

Written with a strong multidisciplinary approach, the book has expanded considerably to include the expertise of international editors and contributing authors from a wide variety of backgrounds, including ENT, radiotherapy and plastic surgery, as well as maxillofacial surgery and multidisciplinary support.

Key features:

Thoroughly updated to include recent advances in molecular biology and diagnostic imaging
A greatly expanded section on reconstruction to reflect the importance of this area.
An improved balance of content to enhance the multidisciplinary approach.
An international team of editors and contributors from a variety of different specialties
Full colour photos and illustrations throughout.
