NASAL AND SINUS SURGERY is a single author, comprehensive textbook covering the field of rhinology. The book's detailed discussion and explanations of all relevant surgical procedures is intended as both a field reference for practitioners, residents and allied health professionals interested in rhinology, as well as an instructional textbook.
Five main sections cover basic science, procedures for inflammatory diseases, facial plastic and reconstructive procedures, procedures for tumors, and miscellaneous procedures. The basic science section covers the background information important to all rhinologic surgoens. In the subsequent sections that makes up the bulk of the book, all of these surgical procedures are covered in depth in individual chapters listing indications, pre-operative care, techniques, post-operative care, and complications. The emphasis is not only on the techniques used in surgery, but how to manage the surgical patient and when to operate.
