Operative Otolaryngology: Head and Neck Surgery, 3rd Edition is the Myers and Snyderman atlas-style reference on how, and why, each operation in the specialty is done. Every chapter follows the same template, from indications through technique to aftercare and outcomes, so you can land on the step you need in seconds. Contributors come from otolaryngology, plastic, oral and maxillofacial, neurological and ophthalmic surgery. This is the PDF of the 1,690-page, two-volume 2017 Elsevier edition.

Inside the book
Technology that reshaped Operative Otolaryngology
The third edition was revised around endoscopic, microscopic, laser, implantable, radiosurgical and neuromonitoring advances, plus the MRI and CT imaging that now guides planning. New full-colour clinical photographs and line drawings illustrate the steps.
Head, neck and airway
Oncologic chapters reach robotic and endoscopic cancer resection and less invasive thyroid work, while airway material covers stenosis and sleep surgery. A single consolidated paediatric section replaces the scattered layout of earlier editions.
Ear, temporal bone and skull base
Otologic chapters take in fully and partly implantable hearing devices, vestibular implants, vertigo and disequilibrium, and intraoperative monitoring of cranial nerves and central nervous system function.
Built for
- Head and neck surgeonsA step-oriented refresher before less familiar operations.
- Otolaryngology residentsOperative logic and complications laid out chapter by chapter for theatre preparation.
- Skull base and neurotology teamsShared coverage of endoscopic and lateral skull base techniques.
Before you buy
Is the 2017 Myers and Snyderman text the latest edition?
The third edition was published in October 2017, so techniques and devices introduced since then are not covered. Check whether a newer printing suits you better.
Are the Operative Otolaryngology procedure videos part of the purchase?
No. This is the PDF only; any online video or eText features that came with the print book’s access code are not included.
How is this different from Bailey’s or Cummings?
Those are broad specialty textbooks, whereas Operative Otolaryngology concentrates on surgical technique and is organised around individual operations.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
