Sommario/riassunto

Written by an international group of airway surgeons, this is an essential guide for residents and fellows in the fields of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, general surgery, and thoracic surgery, as well as consultant surgeons in these specialties who are responsible for managing airway conditions, but infrequently perform open airway surgeries. It covers everything the trainee requires for



mastering open airway surgical procedures on a live animal and extrapolating these techniques to human patients.
