This encyclopedic three-volume reference finds its way to a fifth edition in 2010, from original publication in 1986. The main enhancement is purchasers' online access to the full text (until the next edition is published), where searching is quick, updates are made regularly, videos are available for viewing, and links to PubMed abstacts are provided. Coverage is organized into sections beginning with basic and general principles, followed by facial plastic and reconstructive surgery; sinus, rhinology, and allergy/immunology; laryngology and bronchoesophagology; head and neck surgery and oncology; otology, neuro-otology, and skull base surgery; and pediatric otolaryngology. The editorial team comprises the following seven: Paul W. Flint and Mark A. Richardson (Oregon Health and Science University); Bruce H. Haughey (Washington U., Missouri); Valerie J. Lund (Royal Free Hospital, UK); John K. Niparko (Johns Hopkins U.); K. Thomas Robbins (Southern Illinois U.); and J. Regan Thomas (U. of Illinois at Chicago).
