Book description
Winner of the First Prize in ENT at the 2004 BMA (British Medical
Association) Medical Book CompetitionThis is the first book to cover the
unique dual character of complex nasal surgery, addressing both
functional and aesthetic aspects that may occur simultaneously.
Including hundreds of colorful, before- and after-illustrations - nearly
one per page - from internationally renowned illustrator Bob Brown, the
book provides precise, methodical descriptions of septum surgery,
rhinoplasty, and endoscopic microsurgery. You will also find essential
information on endoscopic sinus surgery, postoperative treatment with
topical corticosteroids, sleep-disordered breathing, alar reduction and
sculpture, management of nasal trauma, and much more!Learn about every
important element of functional and aesthetic nasal surgery. All
otolaryngologists, facial plastic surgeons, oral surgeons,
dermatologists, and residents will benefit from the experience and
insights of these renowned experts. "...The strengths of this
textbook are based on the wide breadth of experience of the multiple
authors from both sides of the Atlantic. The book is handsomely and
solidly bound in the usual blue over silver format standard for Thieme
medical texts. The illustrations by Robert J. Brown are truly some of
the most beautiful, accurate, and artistic of any that I have seen in a
text on septorhinoplasty. The editors have done an excellent job in
controlling redundant material, which is often a problem with
multiple-author texts. [This textbook] would offer an excellent addition
to the libraries of medical schools, otolaryngologists, plastic
surgeons, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons."--Head and Neck
