The central focus of the 17thEdition is the important role molecular medicine is playing in understanding the pathogenesis ofdisease and patient diagnosis and therapy in the first decade ofthe 21stcentury.The selection ofthe sectional editors and the senior authors for each chapter was based on their contribution of new knowledge to the subject matter oftheir sections and chapters through highly regarded research and their intellectual leadership ofthe specialty,thereby assuring that their contributions to this book are truly authoritative.The editorial aim was to encompass the important information in all of the specialties relating to disorders of hearing, balance, smell,taste,voice,speech and language that are the principal responsibilities of the 21st century otorhino- laryngologist head and neck surgeon and to organize and edit it into a comprehensive compendium with an absolute minimum of redundancy.In the last ten years,there has been a great deal of international cooper- ation in understanding and categorization of major disease entities and developing consensus on patient management based on these concepts;the fruits ofthese labors are to be found in the various sections ofthe book. The book is designed to satisfy the informational needs of developing specialists and specialists wanting to maintain their competence with a reader friendly source ofcontemporary knowledge.The extra- ordinary currency ofthis work is largely due to the short time between composition and printing which is a tribute to the publisher,Brian C.Decker,and his gifted staff.My gratitude goes foremost to Ashley Wackym for his leadership,creativity,brilliant intellect and just plain hard work but in full measure to the sectional editors, authors and illustrators who have made this centennial edition one that will give the reader information,pleasure and inspiration.

Care was taken to present the scientific underpinnings ofeach discipline,which provide the basis for diagnosis and treatment. The authors have endeavored to include the evidence that underlies management of the disorders. The addition of color plates throughout the chapters has added an important new dimension to this book distinguishing it in the field.The use of color not only conveys additional information rarely seen in a text of this magnitude but also enhances the appearance of the book.The illustration of surgical concepts and procedures in color carries on Ballenger’s original idea of adding an “atlas”to the text. The six sections of this book cover the field of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery with thoroughness that includes not only the breadth of the specialty but the depth of knowledge in each of the disciplines. As it has for the last 100 years, this book provides a valuable foundation for the library of all otorhinolaryngologists head and neck surgeons. Richard A.Chole,M.D.,Ph.D. July 2008 ix
