Functional Reconstructive Nasal Surgery

Description

Developed from the authors' vast teaching and clinical experience, here is the first book in nearly two decades to fully cover the functional reconstructive aspects of nasal surgery. You will find step-by-step details on a wide range of surgical procedures, highlighted by more than 800 detail-revealing illustrations.

Beginning with an overview of surgical anatomy, histology, physiology, and diagnostics, the book goes on to cover incisions and approaches for surgery of the septum, pyramid, lobule, turbinate, and nasal cavity. An important section on special considerations addresses pediatric surgery, transplants, acute nasal trauma, mentoplasty; implants; complications; and more. The extensive appendix includes coverage of materials, instruments, nomenclature, and historical developments.

Special features of this valuable surgical guide:

· Extensively illustrated with over 800 drawings - more than two per page!
· Focuses on state-of-the-art functional rhinologic techniques rather than aesthetic aspects
· A thorough description of the anatomic information you'll need for successful surgery
· Written by two eminent surgeons who have developed and taught these courses throughout the world

All otorhinolaryngologists, maxillofacial surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, and residents who perform functional reconstructive nasal surgery will benefit from this wealth of information. A valuable addition to any professional or personal library.
