Reviews

Bradley A. Schiff, MD, Annals, (2010): This book fills a void in the otolaryngology literature by providing a logically organized, comprehensive, and detailed look at one of the most basic and essential otolaryngological procedures. It should provide a valuable resource to all health-care providers who frequently interact with tracheotomy patients.
