Peter H. Hwang – Författare

The quintessential, authoritative, and reader-friendly rhinology referenceRhinology: Diseases of the Nose, Sinuses, and Skull Base edited by distinguished clinicians Peter H. Hwang, David W. Kennedy, Richard R. Orlandi, and Peter John Wormald brings together the collective wisdom, experience, and vision of preeminent thought leaders in a comprehensive rhinology reference. With approximately 1,000 pages, this tome offers in-depth coverage of all core topics in the subspecialty of rhinology, ranging from rhinosinusitis to endoscopic skull base reconstruction and more. The updated resource reflects the significant growth in knowledge and understanding of anatomy, pathophysiology, medical therapies, surgical techniques, and technological innovations in rhinology that have occurred since the publication of the 2012 edition.The second edition features a total of 69 chapters-reflecting the evolving depth and breadth of the field. It encompasses the pathogenesis, current thinking, diagnosis, and management of chronic rhinosinusitis, the pathology and management of less common disorders, and the surgical techniques and postoperative management of skull base lesions and sinonasal tumors. Highlights include updated content on olfaction, new material on biologic therapies, enhanced coverage of office-based rhinologic procedures, and an updated section on endoscopic nasopharyngectomy.Key Features Contributions from a who's who of renowned rhinology specialists and surgical experts from across the globeA total of 37 videos performed by surgical masters highlight the latest surgical innovations, including 16 that are new to this editionNew, in-depth reviews of endoscopic transorbital surgery for skull base and orbital pathologiesAn expanded image library of about 1,000 images features illuminating illustrations by medical illustrator Christine Gralapp, alongside high-quality diagnostic and intraoperative imagingThis multimedia resource builds on the widely acclaimed first edition, providing otolaryngologists, rhinologists, and residents in training with detailed information regarding the management of sinusitis, rhinologic conditions, and oncologic disorders affecting this region.This print book includes complimentary access to a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.Publisher's Note: Products purchased from Third Party sellers are not guaranteed by the publisher for quality, authenticity, or access to any online entitlements included with the product.

This book will aim to educate practicing otolaryngologists and trainees in the diverse spectrum of surgical and medical interventions available for recalcitrant CRS, with an emphasis on novel therapeutic modalities. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) represents one of the most common healthcare problems in the United States (US), with 1 in 6 adults affected and 31 million individuals newly diagnosed each year. Over 22 billion dollars are spent annually in US health care expenditures due to the cost of prescription medications, surgical interventions, and loss of productivity. Management of CRS recalcitrant to standard medical and surgical intervention continues to present a challenge for many otolaryngologists. An overall productivity cost of $10000/per patient per year is estimated for those with such refractory CRS. The last decade has seen significant expansion in our treatment armamentarium for such recalcitrant disease. New surgical approaches, minimally invasive techniques, endoscopic instrumentation, technologic innovations, in-office procedures, etc. have been developed. Systemic immunomodulatory biologics and a vast array of topical agents have also been introduced. These novel therapeutic options have been the topic of numerous panel presentations at educational conferences/courses by the co-editors but no textbook to date has been published focusing on this important subject. Chapters addressing operative and clinic procedures will offer accompanying videos depicting surgical techniques in addition to illustrations and step-by-step descriptions. Sections reviewing new technology and medical therapies will also include tables and reviews of the pertinent literature. Advances in Surgical and Medical Interventions for Recalcitrant Chronic Rhinosinusitis will serve otolaryngologists and trainees in the most up-to-date techniques both surgical and otherwise to address this pervasive issue. It describes new surgical approaches and recent technologic innovations for management of recalcitrant chronic rhinosinusitis, discuss novel medical therapies including nascent systemic biotherapeutics, immunomodulators, and topical additives to assess their potential role in the treatment of refractory chronic rhinosinusitis, and assist practitioners in understanding the relevant evidence, outcomes, and proper application of each therapeutic modality in patients with recalcitrant chronic rhinosinusitis.
