Andrew Bath, FRCS, Journal of Laryngology and Otology, (2009): "It is a very well written book, which gives the reader the feeling that the authors have a wealth of experience in dealing with difficult paediatric airways. They make good use of 'key points' with the chapters, which highlight important aspects from the text, making the information more absorbable. Each chapter is particularly well referenced and there are about 30 pages full of references at the back of the book!" Adam Frosh, MB, BCh, FRCS (Edin), FRCS (ORL-HNS), Journal of the American Medical Association, (2009): "... the examples supplied on the accompanying CD do sound very representative of the conditions. The corresponding sonograms are exceedingly useful in giving a clear picture of how the sounds are represented and complement how sonography patterns are generated." Istvan Sziklai, European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, (2009): "Especially useful descriptions are provided for surgical treatment of laryngeal and tracheal stenoses. The procedures are illustrated by drawings. It is emphasized that acoustic analyses of irregular sounds can be utilized for diagnosis, establishing etiology of the airway disorder, selection of optimal treatment option and follow-up."
