Navigate Complex Cases with Confidence and Precision
The field of otorhinolaryngology is made challenging by the complex and unique anatomy of head and neck region. Successfully navigating this area with surgical finesse remains an enigma. 100 Complications of Otorhinolaryngology & Skull Base Surgery provides a broad overview of various complications encountered in ENT and skull base surgeries, their impacts, and intricacies in their management.
