TO MY MOTHER TO WHOSE INTEREST IN MEDICAL SCIENCE THE AUTHOR OWES

THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED.
PREFACE
This book is based on an abstract of the author's larger work,
Peroral Endoscopy and Laryngeal Surgery. The abstract was prepared
under the author's direction by a reader, in order to get a reader's
point of view on the presentation of the subject in the earlier book.
With this abstract as a starting point, the author has endeavored, so
far as lay within his limited abilities, to accomplish the difficult
task of presenting by written word the various purely manual
endoscopic procedures. The large number of corrections and revisions
found necessary has confirmed the wisdom of the plan of getting the
reader's point of view; and these revisions, together with numerous
additions, have brought the treatment of the subject up to date so far
as is possible within the limits of a working manual.
Acknowledgment is due the personnel of the W. B. Saunders Company for
kindly help.
