Superb multimedia resource provides clinical insights on endoscopic sinonasal dissection
techniques This remarkable manual encompasses the author's 30 years of experience and unique
perspectives teaching endoscopic sinonasal surgery to residents and fellows. It also reflects a
wealth of surgical pearls from rhinology and endoscopic skull base surgery experts on how to
safely navigate through the nose sinuses orbit and skull base. Following a stepwise approach
designed to mirror a resident's progression in the cadaver lab this user-friendly manual
includes the most pertinent information on instrumentation anteroposterior approaches and
postero-anterior approaches. Starting with the philosophy and history of sinus surgery the
reader is introduced to basic anatomical and surgical concepts - progressing to complete
sphenoethmoidectomy and frontal sinusotomy. Subsequent chapters delineate advanced dissection
techniques including dacryocystorhinostomy orbital decompression anterior skull base
resection infratemporal fossa approach nasopharyngectomy and skull base repair techniques
utilizing grafts and local regional flaps. Complementary external approaches to the frontal and
maxillary sinuses are also illustrated. Key Features - Videos available online. - Exquisitely
detailed full-color diagrams sequentially illustrate the appearance of the surgical cavity
before and after resection reinforcing the stepwise progression. - Key concepts expertly
elucidated through extensive illustrations endoscopic views and CT MRI scans. -
Easy-to-follow anatomical landmarks pinpoint safe surgical sinus entry zones respective of

ventilation and normal nasal functioning as well as orbital and skull base procedures and
approaches described in depth. This visually-rich manual is ideal for residents in
otolaryngology-head and neck surgery as well as rhinology and endoscopic skull base fellows.
It will also benefit otolaryngologists ophthalmologists and neurosurgeons who wish to brush
