Main description:

This single volume surgical atlas-like book contains precise descriptions of modern surgical techniques in rhinology and sleep apnea surgery. Chapters are contributed by surgeons with extensive experience, who have already published on the specific procedure described. Each chapter contains diagrammatic or illustrative descriptions of surgical techniques, and provides tips for avoiding complications when the procedures are performed. This comprehensive work 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.
