Pediatric Otolaryngology (eBook)

<p><strong>Highly Commended by the BMA Medical Book Awards for Surgical Specialties!</strong></p><p>Ear, nose, and throat diseases present and progress very differently in children than in adults, needing different diagnostic and treatment strategies. Training in the subspecialty of pediatric otolaryngology is often part of a general ENT program and not a program in itself. As such, the general otolaryngologist may be insufficiently prepared to handle certain pediatric cases.</p><p>R. W. Clarke's <cite>Pediatric Otolaryngology: Practical Clinical Management</cite> aims to provide the pediatric ENT resident or fellow, as well as the general ENT practitioner, with sound clinical guidance on ENT pathologies as they affect the pediatric population.</p><p><strong>Key Features:</strong></p><ul><li>Fully describes the characteristics of ENT diseases in children, as opposed to only describing how the disorders differ from their presentations in adults</li><li>International cast of expert contributors</li><li>Practice based, for the clinician</li><li>Comprehensive accounts of hearing loss in children, often poorly covered in standard texts</li><li>Text boxes orient the reader to 'danger signs,' 'top tips' in surgery, advice regarding potential complications, situations that need urgent referral, and medicolegal pitfalls</li></ul><p><cite>Pediatric Otolaryngology</cite> is an essential reference of this important subspecialty for ENT doctors in practice, as well as in preparation for board examinations.</p>
