This book and accompanying CD-ROM provide full coverage of nasal and sinus anatomy and anatomic variations in key areas, allowing you to create three-dimensional anatomic pictures from CT scans to guide you through all procedures.
The CD-ROM features video footage of actual operations to demonstrate all described techniques and anatomic variations between patients. A unique and highly effective learning tool, the CD-ROM is further enhanced by practice exercises in reconstructing three-dimensional anatomy, Powerpoint presentations, and audio commentary.
Highlights:
Practical, step-by-step guidelines on recreating three-dimensional anatomic pictures using CT scans
CD-ROM includes operative videos and practice exercises to help you master all techniques
Strategies for determining drainage pathways for optimal outcome
New techniques for uncinate removal, exposing the maxillary ostium, performing endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy, and closing cerebrosprinal fluid leaks
Detailed description of the endoscopic modified Lothrop procedure
360 images 79 in color clearly illustrate each point
Combining the advantages of an operative reference with an anatomic manual, here is a resource that belongs in the libraries of ENT surgeons, otolaryngologists, and residents. Its in-depth coverage and didactic utility make it essential when preparing for endoscopic sinus surgery. Most importantly, it significantly improves the safety and efficacy of dissections by sharpening your ability to conceptualize three-dimensional anatomy.

The second edition of this operative manual provides expanded coverage of the complex anatomy and the current surgical approaches to the paranasal sinuses and skull base. It provides practical, step-by-step instruction on using CT scans to reconstruct three-dimensional images of surgical anatomy, enabling the surgeon to develop detailed surgical plans for each clinical situation.
The accompanying DVD is greatly expanded from the first edition's CD-ROM, with 30 additional operative videos plus new problem-based exercises. The operative videos enable practitioners to visualize the surgical concepts described and illustrated in the text. Case exercises provide the opportunity to apply knowledge learned to perform three-dimensional reconstructions--a valuable tool for self-assessment.
Highlights of the second edition:
- Extensive presentation of all the anatomical variations and surgical approaches to the sinuses, parasinus regions, and posterior, middle, and anterior cranial fosse
- Straightforward outlines for approaching the frontal sinus and frontal recess, maxillary sinus trephination, dacryocystorhinostomy surgery, cerebrospinal fluid leak closure, orbital and optic nerve decompression, and Vidian neurectomy
- Over 800 diagrams, illustrations, and images demonstrating anatomy and surgical techniques
- Detailed coverage of endoscopic surgical approaches to tumors of the sinuses and in the intracranial cavity
- Discussion of the value and importance of axial CT for determining drainage pathways
Essential for ENT surgeons, otolaryngologists, and residents, this book equips readers with all the information necessary for handling the range of anatomical variations that may be encountered and selecting the best approach for each.
