Completely revised, this fifth edition of Bailey’s Head and Neck Surgery – Otolaryngology offers the most current and useful evidence-based information available for the practicing otolaryngologist and otolaryngology resident.

This comprehensive atlas is the modern, state-of-the-art guide for intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM) and management of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, vagus nerve and other cranial nerves at risk during thyroid, parathyroid and modified radical neck dissection surgery. Based on real-time electrophysiologic images, it will assist the surgeon in the decision-making process by incorporating important information related to the identification of the nerves and their functional status, aiding in the interpretation and improvement of the quality of neural monitoring and reducing inappropriate variations in monitoring technique. Utilization of IONM enables the surgeon to interrogate nerve anatomy and function with immediate quantitative feedback, thereby augmenting surgical training, and importantly, surgical skills and sound anatomic knowledge remain prerequisite and are not supplanted by IONM use.

This surgical atlas, now in its second edition, provides superbly illustrated step-by-step descriptions of a wide range of open head and neck procedures, including radical and conservative approaches, aesthetic and reconstructive surgeries with the use of axial and free flaps, and surgery within the narrow confines of the skull base. Individual chapters are dedicated to surgery of the nose and paranasal sinuses, larynx and trachea, thyroid, salivary glands, mandible, face and lips, and head and neck, the repair of external nose defects, the use of axial and free flaps, and surgical treatment of temporal bone malignancies. The new edition, written by experts from across the world, covers a number of additional topics, such as pediatric head and neck surgery, laser surgery, and robotic surgery. It also features improved surgical photographs, enhanced descriptions of essential procedures, identification of pitfalls, many practical tips and best references available for each procedure to assist readers. The atlas will be a comprehensive practical reference for clinicians in all specialties involved in head and neck surgery, including otolaryngologists, head and neck surgeons, plastic surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, and surgical oncologists.
