Surgery for head neck cancer has evolved greatly in the recent years. Appropriate surgical resection with negative margins still remain corner-stone in achieving good oncological outcome. This atlas proposes a new concept of " The Compartment Surgery " to achieve negative margins in third dimensions which is the problem area in majority of cases. Reconstructive techniques have evolved vastly in the recent years with use of microvascular free flaps and this has significantly improved the functional outcome. Performing each step in appropriate manner cumulatively enables us to perform more complex procedures. Theme of this atlas revolves around this fact.

This atlas on head and neck cancers takes a fresh stylistic approach where each surgical procedure is described in a step-wise manner through labeled high-resolution images with minimal incorporation of text. This allows the surgeons to rapidly revise the operative steps of a procedure within minutes just before they start a surgery. Head and neck has multidimensional anatomy and surgical treatment requires specific approach for each subsite. This operative atlas covers the entire spectrum of common, uncommon and rare cancers of the head and neck area. Each subsite is addressed in a separate chapter with further subdivisions for surgery of tumors with varying extent. Each procedure is demonstrated with photographs of each surgical step and line diagrams. Commonly used flaps (regional and free flaps) are demonstrated in separate chapter for reconstruction. With over 1000 images, and coverage of both the ablative and reconstructive surgical procedures, this is a technique-focused atlas in comparison to the available comprehensive texts. There are two chapters on very advanced cancers, and surgery in resource constrained surgical units making the book relevant to a wide range of cancer surgeons and fellows-in-training in varied clinical settings.

“This is a surgical procedure atlas that illustrates a wide variety of head and neck operations step by step using high-resolution, intraoperative images. … The book is designed for residents or fellows in training and practicing head and neck surgeons. … Overall this is a good atlas of head and neck surgery.” (John David Cramer, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2015)

“This book is a solid, step by step guide for head and neck cancer surgery with 100s of intraoperative drawings and full color photographs of in a how to treat: surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation approaches compared with one another. … I highly recommend this book to students, residents, head and neck oncologists, and unquestionably head and neck surgeons. High points are thyroid disease and flaps.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, March, 2015)
