Short description:

This fully revised and completely updated second edition provides a comprehensive overview of the fields of rhinology/skull base and obstructive sleep apnea. It summarizes all advances and describes surgical techniques using diagrammatic, photographic and video clip illustrations. The incidence of sinusitis and sleep apnea is increasing worldwide as people continue to gain weight and live in environments conductive to type 2 helper lymphocyte related disease. With that increase, we are seeing the development of better surgical techniques and technology, medical and instrumental, to help us take care of our patients. Highly experienced international faculty authors the chapters, sharing their philosophy and surgical techniques designed to prevent complications. The chapters are grouped into sinonasal/skull base and sleep apnea sections and are listed starting first with basic and then progress to cover advanced surgical techniques. Each chapter contains disease presentation, diagnostic techniques, medical management, indications for surgery, surgical techniques and tips to avoid complications.

Rhinologic and Sleep Apnea Surgical Techniques 2^nd edition will be an invaluable resource for learners of all levels and practicing otolaryngologists.
