This thoroughly revised and entirely updated second edition presents an in-depth examination of the domains of rhinology, skull base surgery, and obstructive sleep apnea. It encapsulates recent advancements in the field and delineates surgical methodologies, supported by diagrams, photographs, and video illustrations. The rising incidence of sinusitis and sleep apnea globally correlates with increasing obesity rates and environments conducive to type 2 helper lymphocyte-mediated diseases. In response to this trend, there is a corresponding enhancement in surgical techniques and medical technologies that facilitate improved patient care.
Chapters are authored by esteemed international faculty with extensive experience, who impart their philosophies and surgical methods aimed at minimizing complications. These chapters are organized into sections focused on sinonasal/skull base issues and sleep apnea, beginning with fundamental concepts and progressively advancing to cover complex surgical procedures. Each chapter details disease presentations, diagnostic strategies, medical management approaches, indications for surgical intervention, procedural techniques, and critical insights for complication avoidance.
The second edition of *Rhinologic and Sleep Apnea Surgical Techniques* is poised to serve as an essential resource for individuals at all levels of expertise, as well as for engaged otolaryngologists in practice.
