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 2nd edition will be an invaluable resource for learners of all levels and practicing otolaryngologists.

In "Revision Sinus Surgery" the world’s most prominent rhinologists illustrate their experience in diagnosing and managing recurrent sinus disease and skull base lesions. Starting with preoperative planning and medical management, these challenging cases are well-illustrated with the relevant surgical techniques. This invaluable resource is designed to prevent complications and improve the outcomes of revision sinus surgeries. Both practicing and in-training otolaryngologists can use this comprehensive volume as an all-in-one source for the evaluation and management of recurrent sinus disease and skull base pathology.

Addressing disease of the frontal sinus successfully remains, perhaps, one of the most technically challenging issues encountered by otolaryngologists. The intricate anatomy, combined with a narrow aperture and relatively acute angle of approach, leads to complexity not encountered elsewhere in surgery of the sinuses. This comprehensive volume with contributions by over 30 of the world's leading rhinologists will help to shed light on this difficult topic. Thorough discussions of anatomy and pathophysiology of a variety of frontal sinus diseases provide a background for in-depth chapters on aspects of both medical and surgical management. A variety of surgical approaches are discussed, including the latest endoscopic techniques, as well as more traditional open and microscopic approaches. Heavily illustrated, this volume will be a "must have" for the rhinologist managing disease in the frontal sinus.

This is the only book dedicated solely to frontal sinus disorders. Additional topics include balloon dilation, frontal surgery as part of skull base surgery, and advances in endoscopic techniques and tools that have occurred since 2004 and have made open osteoplastic procedures almost obsolete.

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.
