Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: John David Cramer, M.D.(Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine)
Description: This volume in the Master Techniques in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery is an outstanding review of the most up-to-date topics in rhinology from many of the most prominent rhinologists and skull base surgeons in the world. The focus is on surgical techniques including basic sinus surgery, sinonasal approaches to orbital surgery, and skull base surgery.
Purpose: This is designed to be a surgical reference that describes how to approach basic and advanced procedures in rhinology and skull base surgery. The authors undeniably succeed in creating a beautifully illustrated, step-by-step guide to rhinologic procedures.
Audience: Subspecialists in rhinology and skull base surgery, general otolaryngologists with an interest in rhinology, and residents and fellows in training would find this an excellent surgical reference. Different rhinologists author each chapter, and they include many of the most renowned rhinologists in practice.
Features: World-renowned surgeons with extensive experience in endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery discuss a range of topics in rhinology and related disorders, including basic endoscopic sinus surgery and septoplasty, newer techniques like balloon dilation, advanced techniques including dacryocystorhinostomy and orbital surgery, and approaches to the anterior skull base and cervical spine. Chapters follow a similar step-by-step approach with preferred techniques, relevant anatomy, and pearls. The chapters are well written with full-color images and intraoperative photographs. There are multiple videos that accompany the book to further demonstrate sophisticated techniques.
Assessment: Overall, this is an extraordinary resource for those interested in rhinology. Other books in this field contain more comprehensive information on other aspects of rhinology, while this one maintains its primary focus on surgical techniques. Those looking for a book on surgical techniques will not find a better one. This is a significant contribution to the field and will quickly become the definitive surgical atlas for rhinology.
