Written by an interdisciplinary team of experts in ear, nose, and throat
trauma; oral and maxillofacial surgery; neurosurgery; and accident surgery, this
book is a state-of-the-art manual on the diagnostic, treatment, and therapeutic
techniques available to manage trauma injuries to the head and neck.
This book features more than 240 illustrations, most in color, and step-by-step
discussions of the initial management, evaluation, and examination of the
patient, followed by a thorough collection of flow-charts and checklists. In
each chapter the authors present the surgical anatomy, pathomechanism and
classification, clinical signs and symptoms, functional tests, diagnostic
imaging, as well as other appropriate diagnostic measures.
Head and Neck Trauma covers everything from wound management to the latest surgical techniques and
their complications. The authors also discuss the medical and technical aspects
of trauma management, including antibiotic therapy, grafting and osteosynthesis
materials, and the assessment of posttraumatic functional disorders.
This beautifully illustrated reference belongs in every emergency room and trauma
center library and is an essential tool for any medical professional treating
patients with head and neck injuries.
