Atlas of Endoscopic Sinus and Skull Base Surgery

Improve your surgical outcomes with Atlas of Endoscopic Sinus and Skull Base Surgery by James N. Palmer, MD and
Alexander G. Chiu, MD. Ideal for every otolaryngologist who performs basic or advanced rhinologic procedures, this
beautifully illustrated atlas takes you step by step through endoscopic sinus and skull base surgeries as if the
chapter authors were right there with you in the operating room.



Benefit from the extensive knowledge and experience of leaders in the field as they walk you through endoscopic
approaches to chronic sinus disease, nasal polyps, pituitary tumors, cerebrospinal fluid leaks, sinonasal tumors, and
much more.
Employ state-of-the-art techniques in your practice, from septoplasty and sphenoethmoidectomy to extended frontal sinus
procedures, endoscopic craniofacial resections, balloon dilation, and complex skull base reconstructions.
Visualize every step of each procedure thanks to high-definition, intraoperative endoscopic photos paired with
detailed, labeled anatomic illustrations.
Achieve optimal patient care before, during, and after surgery with detailed information on relevant anatomy and
surgical indications, instrumentation, potential pitfalls, and post-operative considerations.
