Stell and Maran's Textbook of Head and Neck Surgery and Oncology (Hardcover)

First written by Philip Stell and Arnold Maran in 1972, Stell & Maran's Textbook of Head and Neck Surgery and Oncology has been revised in both content and approach over the years to reflect the enormous progress made in the area.
