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. Not just a source for information, this book gives you a strategy for approaching problems. Algorithms with limited textual discussion to show problem-solving, giving you at-a-glance information. Focused information and distinct branching make it easy for you to find the exact information needed. Saves time by quickly allowing you to compare the author's algorithm with your own experience. Serves as a template to discuss differences in management enabling you to consider a range of care options. Focused referencing directs you to the source needed.
