This fully revised and expanded second edition provides a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the fundamentals of contemporary larynx and trachea surgery, presenting the state of the art in European laryngology. The book includes the most recent developments in surgery, such as robotic surgery, as well as novel materials such as the CO2 waveguide, and describes the technical aspects of the various procedures in detail to allow readers to implement them. It particularly focuses on issues like the treatment of papilloma, the transoral surgery of T3-T4 larynx cancer and scarring of the vocal fold. The contributors are experts in the field, mainly from the European Laryngological Society and European Head & Neck Society, but also from America and Asia.This textbook is a valuable resource for ENT trainees and those superspecializing in laryngology, as well as for experienced laryngologists and head & neck surgeons.

A credit to the Editors and the contributors, as well as the publishers, in getting this publication from the authors to the study desk of the readers . Every budding Otolaryngologist and even those considered experienced Laryngologists should avail of their own copy of this volume, as there is much clinical practice information contained within and, if additional information is required, then the over 1,750 references should be researched. This book remains good value for money. (Patrick J Bradley, The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, October 27, 2022)
