'It is my expectation that the reader will find him or herself reaching for this practical guide on a regular basis. I wish each of you an enjoyable read, and hope that this little gem of a book proves invaluable to your surgical practice.' John Rubin, MD, FRCS, FACS 'The editors have succeeded in presenting a book that is comprehensive enough to offer much practical information to the interested reader, while keeping the format of the guide portable. The task-specific chapters on techniques are really well laid out - they are short, to the point, and include tips and tricks. The chapters are very well illustrated with many figures, and the references offer a quick link to more detailed literature for the interested reader. The authors have done their best to share from their own experience, and have not excluded addressing potential risks, or avoiding mention of possible complications - and how best to deal with them. This is an excellent piece of work for motivated colleagues who are willing to go the extra mile into this exciting and expanding field of phonosurgery.' Markus Hess, MD
