Book Review
Journal Title: Bengal Journal of Otolaryngology and Head Neck Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 25, Issue 2
Abstract
When an eminent teacher and otologist like Dr Asok Kumar Saha comes out with a book on Otology, the expectations would naturally be high. I must admit that the presentation and contents of the book have surpassed my expectations. It has been a pleasant experience to review the book. The profusely illustrated book is ideal for the students of Otology to develop a clear conception of the anatomical complexities of the ear and to clear doubts on the critical steps of the surgical operations. The author has incorporated all the recent developments in audiological, vestibular and radiological investigations and yet has been able to restrict the volume of the book to 366 pages. The reader would also have clear ideas on recent advances like endoscopic surgeries and the vexing issue of biofilms. This informative, concise and contemporary textbook of Otology & Middle Ear Surgery would be helpful for the postgraduates as well as practising otologists
