Rezensionen
"The trainees will still invest in atlases showing what can be achieved with a high speed drill, a laser, a robot or an endoscope but this truly novel book would prove a far more useful exercise. The topic will make up a significant proportion ... of a career and the most senior of us would benefit from reading this. ... I felt sure this would be an invaluable addition and it proves so." (L Flood, The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, March 3, 2023)
