rhinoplasty, revision tympanomastoidectomy, and revision pharyngectomy,
this book is a comprehensive reference for revision surgery in all areas
of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. The book presents practical
guidelines for the procedures to manage recidivistic disease, the

presentation, assessment, indications for surgery, causes of surgical
failure, risks, complications, timing considerations, surgical
techniques, and alternative treatments provide the reader with all the
essential information needed to develop an effective treatment tailored
to the patient's particular situation. Detailed explanations also make
this book a useful patient education tool.
