Book description
Taking a practical, ''in the trenches approach'' to diagnosing and
treating nasal and sinus disorders, this book offers the expertise of
world-renowned otolaryngologists-head and neck surgeons. From physiology
and immunology of the sinuses to anatomic considerations and new
radiologic techniques, the book covers all the topics the specialist
must master in everyday practice. It includes more than 450 clear
illustrations for easy visualization of complex sinus anatomy. In-depth
discussions of minimally invasive, laser, stereotactic, and combined
endoscopic and microscopic techniques make this text a complete,
''how-to'' guide to endoscopic sinus surgery. You will also find
guidelines for acquiring the technical skills for handling endoscopes
and other instrumentation in the nose. Carefully organized to provide
you easy access to the information you need, this resource is essential
for accurate diagnosis, presurgical planning, choice of surgical
procedure, and best outcomes. Especially useful for beginners, it is the
reference all practitioners will reach for before undertaking a
procedure. "Among this volume's strengths is the amount of color
clinical photographs, color schematic and explanatory diagrams, and
radiographic images. Of the many published texts available, the images
in this book are among the sharpest and of the highest clarity. The
uniformly high quality of the drawings and images complements and
clarifies the written text to a degree not found in many other texts.
The text itself is written in a clear, concise, and easy-to-read format.
The chapters are short, allowing the practitioner to glean a substantial
amount of information in a short and productive time, and flow in a
logical fashion. Each chapter is well referenced, and many are written
by well-known experts in the field. This volume would serve more than
adequately as a reference text, because the subjects and information it
presents are thorough, information, and easily accessible. ..
