✦ Synopsis
discussion of the limitations and disadvantages of the technique.
Two courses on malignant melanoma of the head and neck area are included in this volume. Dr. Janecka divides his review into "noncontroversial" and "controversial" issues. He concisely delineates such difficult areas as width of surgical margins, management of regional lymph node metastasis, different features of mucosal melanomas, and use of adjuvant therapies for these lesions. Dr. Medina is characteristically meticulous with his review, with excellent discussions of staging of melanomas and management of the primary tumor and the adjacent neck.
Other courses within the volume, which are very good and would be of particular interest to head and neck surgeons, include "Salivary Gland Disease in Children" by Dr. Charles M. Myer 111, "Delayed Reconstruction of Large Facial Defects after Mohs Surgery" by Drs. Arnold Katz and Donald Grande, "An Introduction to Parathyroid Surgery" by Drs. Victor Lawson and George From, and "Lymphokines and Cytokines of Therapeutic Interest" by Dr. William Richtsmeier.
In short, this second volume in the AAO-HNS series lives up to expectations set by Volume 1. The editors have selected relevant and interesting courses to highlight in Volume 2. The material is organized and well-presented. C.V. Mosby has again prepared a volume with excellent type, diagrams, and illustrations. Clearly, the AAO-HNS Znstructional Courses, Volume 2 is excellent and suggests that this yearly periodical is one which warrants attention.
