In this outstanding reference, 145 algorithms depict the management of clinical problems in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. The broad range of problems addressed makes it an ideal resource for both the student and the practicing physician. It illustrates the evaluation and management of common and uncommon conditions in otolaryngology. Each algorithm presents a logical approach to the specific clinical problem, accompanied by a page of text that discusses issues related to decision points on the algorithm. Each section begins with algorithms that cover broad clinical issues and leads to more detailed chapters that address specific diagnoses.
