Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Micah J Hill, MD (Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine)
Description: This comprehensive reference details both the medical and surgical management of complex revision sinus surgery patients in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods.
Purpose: The book aims to be a comprehensive source of information on all aspects of revision sinus surgery patient management. As the first book dedicated to this rapidly growing topic, it is a welcome and necessary contribution. With chapters ranging from radiology to the role of allergy and CSF leak management, the book provides a truly exhaustive and accessible source of information.
Audience: Written for a general otolaryngology audience, the book is useful for skill levels ranging from the junior resident to the advanced sinus surgeon.
Features: The book not only provides a comprehensive discussion of surgical techniques ranging from revision dacryocystorhinostomy to CSF leaks, it also discusses the science behind preoperative and postoperative medical management. With 274 figures and 41 tables in 346 pages, almost every page has color illustration. The figures are of excellent quality and include relevant endoscopic photos and CT scan pictures. The book excels with clarity, organization, and presentation. Each chapter begins with a core message highlighting the learning points of the chapter as well as a chapter outline. Color headings, subheadings, and page tabs create an organizational structure that is not only esthetically pleasing, but also translates into easy reading and text navigation.
Assessment: This is an essential reference for surgeons caring for advanced and revision sinus surgery patients. In contrast to other books in the field of sinus surgery that focus on one aspect of surgery or medical management, this single reference contains the input from the field's experts on comprehensive revision sinus surgery patients.
