This book from Thieme is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by Dr. David Goldenberg and Dr. Bradley J. Goldstein, covering otolaryngology and head and neck surgery (कान, नाक एवं गला तथा शिर एवं ग्रीवा शल्य चिकित्सा). The second edition is revised, updated and now in full colour, and it is widely regarded as the standard among pocket guides for the specialty — an award-winning handbook designed to be carried in a lab coat rather than read at a desk.
The value here is density in a portable format. The book encompasses the majority of the spectrum of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery clinical training and practice, presented through bullet lists, tables, algorithms and diagrams rather than continuous prose, which is what makes recall possible under pressure. Reviewers in the specialty literature have described the review-style format and breadth of topics as suiting both residents and experienced otolaryngologists wanting a quality pocket reference. The reader-friendly organisation and a strong index are built for looking something up in seconds.
Its eight sections cover otology, rhinology, laryngology and the upper aerodigestive tract, head and neck surgery, paediatric otolaryngology, facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, general otolaryngology, and — new for this edition — endocrine surgery. Most chapters follow a standard format: a list of key points, then epidemiology, signs and symptoms, differential diagnosis, how best to conduct the physical examination, imaging, treatment options, outcomes and appropriate follow-up. That predictable structure is a large part of why it works as a reference; you always know where in the chapter the answer sits. It should be understood as a clinical companion for residents, fellows and clinicians rather than an undergraduate ENT textbook — an MBBS student needs a standard teaching text first, and can use this alongside it for structured revision. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script.
