This remarkable manual
encompasses the author's
30 years of experience
and unique perspectives
teaching endoscopic
sinonasal surgery to
residents and fellows.
It also reflects a
wealth of surgical
pearls from rhinology
and endoscopic
skull base surgery
experts on how to safely
navigate through the
nose, sinuses, orbit,
and skull base.
Following a stepwise
approach designed to
mirror a resident's
progression in the
cadaver lab, this user-
friendly manual
includes the most
pertinent information on
instrumentation,
anteroposterior
approaches, and postero-
anterior
approaches. Starting
with the philosophy and
history of sinus
surgery, the reader is
introduced to basic
anatomical and
surgical concepts -
progressing to complete
sphenoethmoidectomy and
frontal sinusotomy.
Subsequent chapters
delineate
advanced dissection
techniques including
dacryocystorhinostomy,
orbital decompression,
anterior skull base
resection,
infratemporal fossa
approach,
nasopharyngectomy, and
skull base repair
techniques utilizing
grafts and
local/regional
flaps. Complementary
external approaches to
the frontal and
maxillary sinuses are
also illustrated.
Key Features
* Videos available
online.
* Exquisitely detailed
full-color diagrams
sequentially illustrate
the appearance of the
surgical cavity before
and after resection,
reinforcing the stepwise
progression.
* Key concepts expertly
elucidated through
extensive illustrations,
endoscopic views, and
CT/MRI scans.
* Easy-to-follow
anatomical landmarks
pinpoint safe surgical
sinus entry zones,
respective of paranasal
sinuses
and mucociliary
pathways.
* Minimally invasive
approaches to restore
sinus ventilation and
normal nasal
functioning, as well as
orbital and skull
base procedures and
approaches described in
depth.
This visually-rich
manual is ideal for
residents in
otolaryngology-head and
neck surgery, as well as
rhinology and
endoscopic skull base
fellows. It will also
benefit
otolaryngologists,
ophthalmologists, and
neurosurgeons who wish
to
brush up on specific
endoscopic dissection
techniques relative to
their individual
practice needs.
