Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery: From the Lab to the Operating Room - An International Approach
This is by far the best Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery book ever published. Full of outstanding colour figures and written by international authorities in the field it is a 'must have' for every Otorhinolaryngologist Head and Neck Surgeon both trainees and Consultants and medical school library. It covers all aspects including detailed step by step surgical steps as well as a CD with beautiful videos of all surgical steps. Bdsm While many authors have attempted to comprehensively address the topic of `Rhinology', the rapid pace of change in the scientific foundations of the field, in the past 25 years, has left most efforts out of date or as awkwardly revised editions. Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery From the lab to the operating room: an evidence based approach, by Fokkens and Georgalas, forges a new path for the modern day physician. They have discarded the baggage of poorly constructed ideas, unscientific theory and anecdote that plagues many texts on the subject. This book is the new standard in field. It is comprehensive for both resident and expert. Clinical implication and practically are not lost with key points and review questions to ensure the essential messages are emphasized. The quality of the images reflects the high definition era in which this book is constructed and the video library is beautifully edited, comprehensive and a reflection of the authors' expertise in the field. It is perhaps the finest video library available in Rhinologic texts. The chapters cover both medical and surgical (endoscopic and open) aspects of rhinology but lesser topics such as genetics, outcomes, non allergic rhinitis, facial trauma and rhinoplasty are included in the same depth. This book is the ideal choice for anyone entering the field and equally so for the expert wishing to move with a new modern era of rhinology. Bdsm Finally, there is a rhinology text that is up to date, comprehensive and complete, giving a well balanced explanation of every aspect of rhinology ranging from basic sciences to clinical and practical rhinology, rhinoplasty and skull base. The book is well organized with beautiful illustrations and well designed tables. I particularly like the tips and tricks, and notes, which highlight the important points of the chapter. The questions at the end of each chapter are also stimulating and help to summarize the key points Every chapter is well written with similar style. The paragraphs are succinct and to the point unlike other textbook, hence making reading easy and enjoyable. There is also sufficient depth and up to date information to keep you current with the development of Rhinology. If there is only one textbook of rhinology to get, I will strongly recommend getting this book first. After reading the book, you will have a good understanding and knowledge of rhinology. Bdsm This is the most up to date, evidence based book in rhinology. Its quality is supported by authors' academic and surgical experience at tertiary referral center. Book sections cover all fields in rhinology (from rhinoplasty to skull base), are written with citations from the most recent peer reviewed articles and put forward the standard of care.
DVD with surgery videos also met all my (high) expectations.
This makes Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery the first option when buying a book for rhinology study or updating. Bdsm This text has plugged a major gap in the market for rhinology textbooks. Until recently, there was only Wormalds text which is a surgical manual rather than a rhinology text as such. The other rhinology texts I felt were out dated and I was very happy to get my hands on Georgalas's and Fokkens Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery. It is well written, updated with the latest guidelines and a nice mixture of the theoretical and the practical. Georgalas and Fokkens have written many of the chapters themselves which lends a coherence to the book that I find is often missing in large medical tomes. There is a nice feature where each chapter has a number of 'top tips' spread throughout the chapter, directing the readers attention to key points, which for the reader short of time, could read in 1 2 hours; difficult to see how someone with an interest in rhinology could make better use of a timeframe normally reserved for watching a single episode of 'The Biggest Loser'. There is a useful DVD with 78 different videos, though I find it difficult to swap between mediums when I am reading, I prefer to read first and watched the videos after I finished the book. As a general ENT surgeon with a reasonable rhinology practice, I enjoyed the basic science section (satisfying some of my natural curiosities). Of course the rhinitis/sinusitis section is the meat of the book (and would work as a sinusitis text in its own right), but there is a good (100 page) rhinoplasty section also, with a good chapter by Roxana Cobo, (always one of my favourite rhinoplasty speakers at international rhinoplasty meetings). I read the last section on skull base surgery (200 pages), which I will not be doing personally, but I feel a sense of satisfaction (and strangely some sense of vicarious pride) on been updated on the boundaries that are been pushed by our adventurous colleagues. Keep going guys. You are nearly out the other side! Bdsm
