As technology advances, practicing or training otolaryngologists
register in educational courses to refresh their surgical skills and
stay abreast of these changes. While information is becoming
available in several journals, there is a definite need for a single
surgical atlas-like book that contains precise descriptions of the
surgical techniques used in rhinology and sleep apnea surgery. Each
chapter was written by surgeons with extensive experience in each
topic who have already published on the specific procedure described.
Each chapter contains diagrammatic or illustrative descriptions of
surgical techniques and provides tips and pearls of wisdom to avoid
complications when the procedures are performed. This comprehensive
work of surgical information serves as a valuable resource for
otolaryngologists in training to augment their surgical education and
for practicing otolaryngologists as a review source to best approach
the surgical pathologies they encounter in their practice of
rhinology and treatment of sleep apnea.
