Comprehensive, easy-to-read coverage addresses the basic science, clinical diagnosis, and holistic management of a broad range of head, neck, and orofacial infections with both time-tested and cutting-edge approaches to patient management.
More than 500 photographs, radiographs, and illustrations demonstrate pathologies, procedures, and outcomes.
World-class authors and contributors share their expertise from the disciplines including infectious disease, head and neck surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, plastic surgery, and otolaryngology, as well as other disciplines involving severe infections of the head, neck, and orofacial regions.
State-of-the-art guidance reflects extensive experience with current techniques, as well as technological advances in managing head, neck, and orofacial infections.
A logical, sectioned approach to the content includes three sections: I) issues that are common to all infections of the head and neck region, II) infections of specific parts of the region, and III) infections related to certain procedures, types of patients, unusual organisms, and medical-legal implications.
