'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
