Main description:

This atlas gives careful step-by-step guidance for endoscopic sinus surgery. In doing so, it provides exciting firsthand accounts of modern advanced endoscopic sinus procedures. In the first part of the book the surgical anatomy of the nose and sinuses and the basic surgical techniques are described. The second part deals with advanced techniques and postoperative care. The detailed, step by step narratives - integrated with many intraoperative photographs - accurately convey both surgical fundamentals and nuances. For each procedure the authors give a piece of advice ("golden rules"), making it ideal for those who want to implement well-coordinated surgical approaches to sinus disease.
