This book from AITBS Publishers, India is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by Prof. (Dr.) Santosh Kumar Swain, covering the practical side of ENT (कान, नाक एवं गला). It is a practical manual rather than a theory textbook — the book for the ward, the instrument tray and the viva table, where the marks are decided and where a theory text stops being useful.
The structure follows the practical examination itself. Clinical cases are covered in a systematic manner, taking each through history taking, examination and investigations, which is the sequence a student must reproduce in front of an examiner. Over 70 ENT instruments are covered with their photographs and brief descriptions — instrument identification being the part of the ENT practical students most reliably lose marks on, and the part that cannot be learnt from a theory book. All important ENT surgeries are discussed in stepwise manner, so a student can answer what is done and in what order rather than gesturing at the general idea. And the grand viva, which carries real weight in the ENT practical examination, is provided in concise form.
That combination makes it usable at two levels. For an MBBS student it is a complete preparation manual for the ENT practical and viva. For an MS or DNB trainee it is a first foothold — the author describes it as extremely useful in early training in ENT and head and neck surgery, the stage at which a resident is expected to examine competently and assist in theatre before they have read the specialty in depth. The author, Prof. (Dr.) Santosh Kumar Swain, also wrote A Concise Textbook of Ear, Nose and Throat, which pairs naturally with this volume — the textbook for theory, this for the practical. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script.

ENT विषय के प्रायोगिक पक्ष पर केंद्रित पुस्तक है — यह सैद्धांतिक पाठ्यपुस्तक नहीं, बल्कि वार्ड, उपकरण एवं वाइवा की तैयारी हेतु मैनुअल है। इसमें क्लिनिकल केस क्रमबद्ध रूप से दिए गए हैं — इतिहास लेना, परीक्षण तथा जाँचें — अर्थात वही क्रम जो परीक्षक के समक्ष प्रस्तुत करना होता है। 70 से अधिक ENT उपकरण उनके छायाचित्रों एवं संक्षिप्त विवरण सहित सम्मिलित हैं, जो प्रायोगिक परीक्षा का महत्त्वपूर्ण भाग है और जिसे सैद्धांतिक पुस्तक से नहीं सीखा जा सकता। सभी प्रमुख ENT शल्य प्रक्रियाएँ चरण-दर-चरण समझाई गई हैं तथा ग्रैंड वाइवा को संक्षिप्त रूप में सम्मिलित किया गया है। यह पुस्तक MBBS विद्यार्थियों के लिए प्रायोगिक परीक्षा की संपूर्ण तैयारी पुस्तक है तथा MS/DNB (ENT) प्रशिक्षुओं के लिए प्रारंभिक प्रशिक्षण में उपयोगी है। ध्यान दें: यह पुस्तक पूर्णतः अंग्रेज़ी भाषा एवं रोमन लिपि में है, हिन्दी में नहीं।
