<P>Filling a void that currently exists in otolaryngology textbooks, this is a comprehensive text on laryngeal surgery that can be used by physicians to prepare for surgical cases. It contains explicit step-by-step descriptions of surgical procedures so that the reader can "learn to operate". The surgical atlas is written by experts with step-by-step surgical maneuvers for various laryngeal procedures that encompass both microlaryngeal surgery and laryngeal framework surgery. Postoperative care and complications are also covered to round out the information. The atlas is richly illustrated to highlight the difficult three-dimensional anatomic concepts.</P>
